Hauraki.

Trying to get to his feet to play the ball quickly, can't find his footing plus Abdull still holding him down. Hauraki slips again knee hits Abdull's arm first before slipping off that into his face accidentally.

No intent, not deliberate just an unfortunate repercussion of trying to get up and one player holding him down/having his leg caught (I believe).

Would have to watch it again slowly.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. We already knew Hauraki's knee hit the Hull players head.
As mentioned before, he was trying to get up to play the ball. Maybe he should've been a bit more careful but it's nowhere near a ban and not even a penalty in my opinion. These things happen in a tackle.

If it is then each Hull player involved in the tackle on Millington deserve a long ban too.
But that would be ridiculous...

Accidental contact with the head, 1-2 due to careless/ reckless behaviour and lack of care and consideration for players around him.

I'd be surprised if anyone outside of Hull and Stevo believed this was deliberate...

watching the replay back, doesnt look good, abdul isnt holding hauraki down, he clearly knows he is there and continues to plow his knees in, players have been penalised in the past for kicking out in the tackle for dangerous play, like the hock incident, unless watched back probably woulnt have noticed, only hauraki knos if the intent was there, live wouldve been difficult to decide, that lays in the hands of the rfl

he will cop a game ban for carelesness and i hope he hasnt done any damage to young abduls' neck!

His knee hits him on the ear, not the neck - not that it makes the slightest bit of difference. Wish Abdull all the best.

Hauraki is a sh1thouse, but that one looked nothing more than a bit reckless; Hull do tend to stick around too long in the ruck, and he was obviously scrambling around a bit to try to convince the ref he was being impeded.

Reckless yes, but making a case for intent would be difficult; and I do wish Stevo would stop pronouncing players as guilty during his 'commentary.'

It didn't look deliberate sky cameras slowing it down made it look worse.
