Not sure. It looks worse in slow motion and it was a head clash, he did not connect his head with his shoulder.
Agreed.
But because concussion is flavour of the month, and they golf carted him off, I think he gets a week or two..

I'm not up with the high contact/careless etc points, but i'm sure someone here is.

He might be... but it’s rough, no one goes in trying to have a head clash and take himself out of the game as well.

Just an Accident for me, if he left the ground he’d definitely be done.
The commentators talking up the fact he made the decision to bump, thereby forfeiting his rights, hasn't helped. Feel like he'll be made an example of.

You have to show duty of care with the head. Looks 50/50 to me.

Deserves two weeks at least, sniped the bloke miles off the ball, couldn't
handle the ignominy of being legitimately dispossessed of the ball prior to his retaliation.
How is it off the ball? Kelly had just disposed off the ball. watching thew slow mo, Given he had disposed, expect 1 week, 2 weeks most.
