This is the correct answer. Also, the Laws of the Game make no mention of ā€œhead hitting the ground firstā€ so anyone claiming that by copying and pasting from some extraneous source is objectively wrong.
Who did that?
 
Well Buddy did get a week before it got downgraded, which I suspect Redman will get too. Dont know which Merrett one you're talking about.

Look, I don't have an issue with them looking after players heads, I have an issue with the bloody maddeningly inconsistency with which it's applied. Sellwood runs through a blokes head with his hip and gets a fine? They're having a laf.
 
He was tackled by one of the Baileys on the 50 at the city end and spun into the ground. 11:50 odd in the following video:


one arm pinned, slung, head hits the ground.
Surely you can gif it for me šŸ˜‚

I have no idea how Redman is medium if Selwood is low.

Do you pay a free kick against Bont for dropping or is it play on is what I'm asking.
Sorry 100% I’d call it holding the ball. Had prior or assumed prior given the fend off (which actually appears to hit redman high).

If we say no prior, I think on current interpretations it would not be a free against Bont, but should be. As an aside, I have a real pet peeve with the dropping of the ball with no prior being ignored. If anything, players who play by the spirit of the law (trying to dispose of the ball legally) are actually punished more than those who just drop it
 
I do wonder if the whiplash secondary impact is worse sometimes. Ie shoulder hits and head slams down on the follow through.
It isn't fun. I wasn't concussed but yeah, not fun

Head hits are definitely worse from my experience. I had the whiplash from being tackled like that and also concussion from being king hit. I know which I'd prefer, apart from obviously neither.

I think Christian is using the escalation lever that exists ("Secondly, strong consideration will be given to the potential to cause injury.... > Any dangerous tackle.") but it still doesn't actually make sense as we've seen sling slam tackles given low impact which I think most people would class as a more dangerous action than Redman's tackle.

(The escalation for bumps is written as "High bumps, particularly with significant head contact and/or Player momentum;" but in practise we rarely seem to see this applied)

I’m finding it really hard to continue caring for this once great game atm.

So many inconsistencies that can only be deliberate on the part of the adjudicators depending on whoops charged and who the ā€œvictimā€ is.

Absolute joke.

Spot on.
Consistently inconsistent, bordering on corrupt!

umpire should be given a week for being a ****ing cheat. Absolute tired to give bont a dick ride in the last quarter.

blaz did a sling tackle earlier in the game and nothing.
