If a heavyweight is playing against a team with no enforcer who are basically saying there is no place for you in the league, you're damned right they are going to take a few big runs at hitting players on the other team to show them they made a mistake.
The team with no enforcer can try to hurt them on the scoreboard... if they even get penalized, but they are risking losing guys to injury and god forbid a guy like Pinizzotto or Nurse tries to fight McGrattan to answer for a smaller teammate getting leveled. I love seeing grats win but that just isn't even fair... it could be curtains on the season for either of those two.
