It was Kelma 2nd offence hence why he got a 3-4 week suspension, otherwise it would have been a fine. Jack Williams also charged with a fine for his careless high tackle. And yes no Dragons players were charged, and absolute joke.
I have no issue with the suspension if that is the standard punishment for such an offence. What burns me is the inconsistency of punishment for the exact same offence in the same game
I think crushers are all accidental and just the result of players backing into tackles. No player intentionally is crushing another players neck. But that's the nrl these days. Preston and Leo Thompson got 4 weeks for similar tackles with little or no contact. We are in a rebuild have other options for the edge so I'm not too pissed but if your competing for a title imagine losing a key player for that garbage
"I like the way Ryles learnt from the Galvin situation. When asked on the radio about TDS, he gave nothing away. Just said we are interested but so are lots of clubs. He would have known we were red hot favourites but didn't want to be caught…"

Would have been 1-2 weeks prob if klema had no priors but his record bad

This guy is a liability gets suspended way too often and is ordinary in defence.
I noticed that he was re-signed through 2026 ...we might win the NSW Cup in a year or two.
When the club and coach take it like a biatch, what do you expect? NRL ride em like the donkeys they are!!!
