So? Matterson got straight sent cos a lad pinballed into his shoulder a year or two ago.
Yeah look Whitehead copped a suspension for the same thing a few years back so I’m sympathetic. I guess you just can’t bin two players for the same tackle.

Only guessing here because who the f**k knows what goes on it that bunker, but I think they took into account that he was only falling because Waddell already hit him high, which saved Paseka from further punishment.
They normally don't give a shit if a player is falling and gets hit high. The tackler still gets pinged for it

Yeah it just seemed so weird to make up the whole "bony part of the arm" thing for a bit of a slap across the face when Paseka was definitely not wrapping his arm and got point of shoulder to jaw contact. Like even when they kinda get it right, they f**k it up

All I can come up with is that if there are two infringements on the same play, they usually only punish the first. But honestly who the f**k knows what goes on in that bunker.
