  • Head scratcher

  • Fark he's gone for 4 then because he won't get a downgrade. 

    • I can't see how he wins any downgrade here? His shoulder made direct contact with the head. What am I missing? 

      • No idea 

      • Well the doctor did not think it warranted an HIA and the onfield ref did not think it required a penalty and at least one angle shows that contact with the head was secondary

        • If that's the case then he shouldn't be suspended at all 

        • This

          • Is what such a big dog shot that Fifita didn't even get a HIA out if it..

  • After so many times where we have shouted that the Eels should challenge the Judiciary and they have not, this is the hill they decide to die on?

  • Depends a bit on the angle

    On one angle it looks like primary contact was with opponents shoulder and then the head moved forward and secondary contact was made with the head. And Sivos arms wrapped around opponents body. It is also hard to imagine no HIA if the primary contact was head.

    Ofcourse teh media choose to show the angle where it looks like primary contact was with the head
