Head high contact from a front on bump will incur a 3 week penalty, but a clean record will bring it down to two weeks. If the witness was not injured the penalty can not/will not be reduced, unlike the AFL. It is a clear weakness in the system.
Players are penalised for what could have happened rather than what happened.

Max, my assumption is that is what happened with Groth a couple of weeks ago?
