Before I start this, let me just say, I love a "blue" in a game of rugby league.
Can some explain to me that a tackle like Matai's last week or any other where a tackler makes contact with the head is charged for "attacking the head of an opponent". This is whether it is accidental or deemed deliberate. BUT a player can come in and intentionally punch someone in the head and it is not treated the same way. There is no more obvious example of "attacking the head of an opponent" than throwing a punch. At worst they get binned for being 3rd man in??????
