[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 863057, member: 38204"] You see my point about being it being very difficult to be objective. Going for the ball is the intent bit, it doesn't matter what he was intending to do in some ways. He quickly moved his arm in to the situation and caught the Naholo in the head, it wasn't in line with safeguarding the player, therefore it could be a ban. However, contact with the head happens all the time in the tackle and in the ruck by accident. The question is whether the player could have tried to avoid hitting the head, but then we are circling back to intent. It's no surprise hearings are so inconsistent as each area is so debatable.
