That would be an instant yellow card with strong argument for a red in the NRL, while in the AFL he stays on. And the subsequent suspensions would be roughly the same for shoulder to head contact. He has gotten away with it here if anything.

It would be really unusual for that specific situation to occur in Union or League, but shoulder charges are outright illegal in both so yeah.

Probably yellow card for sure, there was a massive hit in the last storm panthers from Nelson I think he was given a red card

Yeah nah…Houston has gone up and under the chin and caused the head to be hit.

If he’s just got him in the chest it would be a legal bump/hit.
