What it does reveal is the basically the fact that people see a crash and can differ as to its cause and why playing at home can be an advantage. Four referees ( referee, 2 assistant referees and a TMO ) observed that clash none considered worth of a whistle , except the citing officer .
The judgement of the panel is actually rather argumentative -- is a shoulder to shoulder - not an no arms tackle --or body check -- conclusion -- the player without the ball was not trying to tackle and was hit by the ball carrier.-- if that is the conclusion then the ball carrier is guilty of an illegal " hand off " ie using his shoulder to HIT the would be defender.
It all depends on who hit who on this occasion the citing officer identified the wrong person.
