Think it was his bicep mate, seemed to hurt himself as much as he hurt the caveman. It's all subjective, intent, speed of collision, angle of collision, and unfortunately the reputation and standing of the players involved. Had it been been Bailey on Tomkins it would be a ten match suspension, had it been O'Loughlin on say someone like Luke Robinson..............well, you know the rest.

Classy stuff that.

It was not even a penalty never mind on report!

The player was tackled low and fell into the bicep of the defender who was looking to wrap him him up.

I am getting concerned about some of the decisions I have seen in the last few weeks.

The RFL need to bring in the panel of ex players they have and issue a revised directive on this point before it turns into tick and pass!

That's been the gist of the discussion on this thread - it doesn't matter what you hit the head with, if you make contact (according to modern rules) you're guilty of 'attacking' the head. It's clear he leads with the shoulder (as acknowledged by all commentators) and whether the contact with the head was deliberate or not, it's reckless at best (according to modern rules). He'll kop a 1-2 game ban, guaranteed.

Of course, when Burrow ducks into the tackle and kops a smack round the chops it's never his fault.
We'll be seeing every high tackle given a 1 match ban before too long I reckon, and then be watching touch and pass by the end of next season just in case someone gets injured.
