The Sharks lock came flying off the line and smashed Crichton with a bone-rattling tackle, which sent the Panthers centre flying into the turf.
Finucane hit Crichton with his right forearm and did not wrap his left arm around him in the tackle, with the impact folding the Panthers young gun.
Crichton did not return to the field, he looked dazzed and was visibly bleeding from his left ear.
"Finucane clearly made contact with the head. That was like a car crash. It's weird that that's okay"

Incident detail:
Dane Gagai was forced to use his body as a protective shield over teammate Selwyn Cobbo as tempers flared in the most brutal start to a match in State of Origin history, with three players concussed in as many minutes on Wednesday night.
Rookie Queensland winger Cobbo, teammate Lindsay Collins and NSW forward Cameron Murray were all ruled out of the series decider after incidents in the first four minutes, prompting Maroons great Cameron Smith to describe it as ÒwarfareÓ.
The carnage in the opening minutes was punctuated by CobboÕs friendly fire with teammate Patrick Carrigan, which rendered him unconscious as players from both teams rushed to a melee right around him before QueenslandÕs famous 22-12 win at Suncorp Stadium.
Realising the gravity of the situation, Gagai hunched over a vulnerable Cobbo to protect him as rivals shoved and grabbed each other. It took several minutes for medicos to stabilise an unconscious Cobbo, who eventually came to and was driven from the field sitting on the back of a medicab in a neck brace.
Cobbo, 20, was the first Maroons player to be withdrawn from the game due to concussion. It came barely a minute after NSWÕs most versatile forward, Murray, stumbled out of the first tackle his team had to make from a Corey Oates kick return.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs will find themselves needing plenty of replacements for their Round 17 clash against the Newcastle Knights, with all of Campbell Graham, Hame Sele and Mark Nicholls likely to be ruled out due to injury.
Graham is reported to be the most severe of the trio, suffering a reported facial fracture during Saturday night's win over the Parramatta Eels at a wet and windy Homebush.
Despite passing his HIA during the game after being pulled from the field, he is now set to spend time on the sidelines waiting for the fracture to heal.

Younger brother Egan, 22, was involved in a sickening incident in the second half, getting his head in an awkward position while making a tackle on Ryan Matterson.
MattersonÕs hip slammed into ButcherÕs head, knocking him unconscious and sending him crumpling to the turf.
After a lengthy delay, he was stretchered onto the medi-cab with a neck brace and carted from the field. Matterson was all class as he remained by his felled opponentÕs side until he left the field.
In reassuring news, Jake Duke said on Fox League afterwards: ÒHe is up and about in the sheds, walking around.Ó

Keary was trying to tackle Storm fullback Nick Meaney when he took an accidental knee to the head from teammate Joey Manu.
ÒHe is not looking comfortable at all after copping that knee to the head,Ó Fox LeagueÕs Lara Pitt said on the sideline at the time.
Giving a further update ahead of the second half, Pitt confirmed Keary would take no further part in the game.
ÒHe remains in the medical rooms with the RoostersÕ medical staff right now,Ó she said.
ÒHe came from the field after copping friendly fire, Joey ManuÕs knee hitting him in the back of the head and he looked to be in great discomfort after the head knock. He came from the field rubbing the back of his head.
ÒThis is of course a concern for the Roosters as Luke Keary suffered multiple head knocks over an 18-month period in 2018 and 2019. Two serious concussions in 2019 which ruled him out for an extended period. At the time the club took a very cautious approach with him.Ó

The Sharks have come under fire for a HIA controversy after Connor Tracey was ordered to undergo a head injury assessment before rejoining the Cronulla defensive line moments later.
The incident in the 44th minute of the SharksÕ 36-12 win over the Dragons, saw Tracey felled in a tackle near halfway, before he sprinted back to help the defensive line on his tryline.
Given the NRLÕs crackdown on concussions over the last two seasons in a bid to improve player safety the incident was a poor look for the game.
Tracey appeared to be in trouble from the moment he was hit and stayed down for several moments as the trainer signalled for him to come off.
ÒIt ended up being a strong tackle but he has been wounded in making it Connor Tracey for Cronulla,Ó Andrew Voss said on Fox League.
ÒRavalawa shows great sportsmanship signalling to the referee. It is all happening here. Where to look....
"There you go, he has been ruled concussed and still the game continues. That's two tackles with a man down...
Although Tracey is getting up and running back to the line."

The AFL may investigate circumstances surrounding Jed AndersonÕs concussion amid questions of why the North Melbourne star was allowed to return to the field on Saturday.

Incident detail:
The Roosters lost Victor Radley in the first half of their clash with the Knights after the superstar suffered a nasty head knock.
Radley came in quickly to tackle Knights half Jake Clifford and his head connected with CliffordÕs shoulder.
ÒThatÕs a nasty one,Ó Fox League commentator Andrew Voss said.
Radley stayed down for a moment but eventually got back to his feet.
Controversially he was not taken off for a HIA straight away. However three minutes later Radley was taken from the field for the assessment.
Sideline commentator Hannah Hollis revealed that the reason for the delay was because Radley was cleared to play on by the RoostersÕ medical staff, however the independant doctor in the bunker intervened.
ÒIÕve been seeking some clarity on the Victor Radley headknock, under the new rules brought in this year there is an independent doctor sitting at the bunker and the bunker can make a decision on whether a player needs to come from the field,Ó Hollis said.
ÒThey have direct communication with the refs so the bunker in this case has identified Victor RadleyÕs incident as a category one Ñ thatÕs the highest rating possible. He will not return to the field of play and as a result the Roosters lose an interchange for the rest of the game.Ó

"HeÕs automatically ruled out of this weekÕs game under the AFLÕs 12-day protocols, so provided he progresses through those with no issues, weÕll look forward to having him available for Round 3 against Brisbane."

Incident detail:
The boss of Cricket Victoria has revealed the worrying circumstances around Will Pucovski's latest concussion.
Pucovski was subbed out of Victoria's Sheffield Shield game against South Australia yesterday after an incident during warm-up before the day's play.
This was to be his comeback match following a lengthy lay-off to recover from a concussion suffered early in the summer season (Oct 21).
It's believed Pucovski has suffered 11 concussions already in his career. He is still only 24 years old.
When the news broke on Saturday, it was widely assumed Pucovski was hit on the helmet while in the nets prior to play.
But CV boss Nick Cummins tweeted that the concussion was actually the result of the young batter being hit with a soccer ball while playing a light warm-up drill with teammates.

Incident detail:
The day after Will Pucovski suffered an 11th concussion, Steve Smith was concussed for a third time in unusual circumstances.
A spectacular near-save from Smith on the boundary during Sunday nightÕs Super Over thriller against Sri Lanka ended with his head hitting the ground and he will miss the remainder of the five-match T20 International series.
The 32-year-old is now subject to low level protocols in coming days and is expected to make a full recovery in the next six to seven days.
But team officials will be cautious with Smith given itÕs his third concussion in recent times, his first coming when he was subbed out of the Ashes Test at LordÕs in 2019 after being hit by EnglandÕs Jofra Archer.
The blow forced him to miss the following Test at Headingley. Smith then suffered another knock upon his return to the UK for a limited-overs tour in 2020, missing the entire ODI series against England having been struck while batting in the Old Trafford practice nets.

He returned to the Club after the Christmas/New Year break but has continued to report some symptoms which has delayed his return to running.
ÒAs with any concussion we are treating it very seriously and are monitoring PaulÕs wellbeing and return to training on a daily basis,Ó Adelaide High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said.
ÒIt is pleasing to see him back at the Club and doing some light exercises under the guidance of our medical team but we are in no rush for him to rejoin the main group and are taking every precaution.Ó

It was the type of incident the AFL has looked unfavourably on in the past as the player who disposes of the ball isnÕt expecting the tackle. Fortunately, on this occasion Lambert was able to brace herself at the last second to narrowly avoid a serious head injury.
