Both teams also suffered injuries to key players with Broncos hooker Andrew McCullough (knee) and Eels lock Nathan Brown (concussion/jaw) failing to finish the game. Adam Blair (shoulder charge), Brown (high tackle) and Kenny Edwards (dangerous/contrary conduct) may yet each have a case to answer at the judiciary too following an at-times spiteful contest.

Pearson was not concussed from Browns grab at his head as he slipped - was a grab and was blocked by both arms
He was on the ground not injured and fair game
Slip, I initially thought it was late, but on replay it did show he was already committed to tackle, but I agree that it should be seen as a shoulder charge and I read on NRL.com where he has been charged with a shoulder charge.
Kenny jumped in a and swung arm and hit players ball and arm. Never contacted head.
Interesting how channel 9 were saying. Nothing in it yet foxtel want Kenny put on report and charged.
With kenny the whistle wasn't blown so the tackle wasn't complete, so he has the right to go in hard. A bit of a swinging arm, but surely he won't miss time considering he made contact predominantly with the ball.
