Violent conduct offence

VIOLENT CONDUCT

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

And

“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary. use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent

I assume he’s been done because they’ve assumed it’s deliberate, rather than taking a view that it’s excessive force.
