Jordie got taken right across the face, what the fuck if the ref doing
Didn't see it. What happened? Was it foul play or accidental?
No such thing as accidental head shot any more, Coltman took him around the face, hard, but would be mitigated to yellow as jordie was ducking into contact

How often do incidents like that seemingly get overlooked by the citing commissioner?
I don't want people going over games with a fine tooth comb, but often incidents deserving more, are not addressed by the citing commissioner, which is where I believe the league report system seems to work better.
Maybe they need a wider scope than they have currently, which I have no idea what it is.

@machpants Incorrect. One of the questions in the Head Contact Process is whether there was any foul play. Foul play can be intentional or reckless. Accidental = no foul play.

Ok reckless then, so yeah foul play. The way it's reffed is that if you hit their head, by definition that is foul play.

@machpants Common mistake. Many people think it's either intentional or accidental, and forget or don't know about what's in-between (reckless).

Ok but if you hit their head in a tackle it's always reckless
-
@stargazer and yet reckless when talking about police charges is the highest, careless is the 'lightest'
-
@machpants No, that's a ridiculous statement. Sometimes head contact cannot be avoided.

Ok, but that's not how is reffed. I've never heard it mentioned on the refs mic
Anyway in this case it was reckless

I'm so over Blackwell and Prinsep completely shutting down our attack with poor handling. They are just so average.

@machpants Sometimes it is reffed that way. Those ocassions when they talk to the TMO to have a look at it and play on in the mean time. If it's not foul play, then the ref will not blow his whistle.

One on one tackle I'm talking about here, so reckless in this case

Handling not good enough either
