My other problem is if we are saying that a player is liable for whatever the outcome is if they choose to bump, even if a concussion is caused by a head hitting the ground, how is it that they don’t apply this consistently week to week, or even in the same game.
Riley thilthorpe chose to bump lachie jones while he was in the air attempting to mark a ball, in this game. It was a tunneling action. No free kick awarded either. Looked at him, tucked his shoulder in and took his body out, causing him to hit his head on the ground as he landed, hard enough that he was required to do a hia, which he passed. Should surely be careless, high contact and medium impact if we are applying the same standard? Yet it wasn’t even looked at.
