In response to 60s correspondence with Tony Archer maybe another letter needs to be drafted to the Match Review Committee on the following matter:
In a try scoring moment a player lashes out with the foot to stop a try and collects the try scorer in the head - no charge.
In a try scoring moment a player lashes out with the arm to stop a try and collects the try scorer in the head - there is a charge.
Could someone please explain what is the difference besides the obvious?

They said that contact between foot a head was inconclusive. I call BS
Besides, the fact is he lead with the foot, does intent to lead with a foot have to be accompanied with actual contact with the head?
I didnt think you could lead with the foot even if you made contact with the ball and dislodged it while in the process of scoring a try.
That's an absolute cop out by MRC, Sterlo showed kick from opposite angle which conclusively shows contact with head, so the MRC didn't try too hard. PS Obviously none of them watch Ch 9 on Sundays.
J Paullo gets 9 weeks for a throw on a smaller player with momentum.. The NRL hate and loath Parra.. plus refpoor decision making week in and week out in crucial parts of the game.
