Nice to see Sam's media connections come in handy and he has escaped suspension for yet another head high.
Even better is the fact that Moylan is sitting out this week end due to the concussion he suffered from it.
Imagagine if head injuries were NOT in the spotlight! Burgess would have probably walked away with the job vacancy left behind by Coyne!
I do congratulate them on their hard stance against James Maloney and that near career ending injury he caused from his trip though.
The NRL has done it again.
I think they have actually given up on even trying to have any resemblance of consistency and fairness.
The only consistency is their inconsistency.

It was Russell Crowe that went in bat for Sammy by saying that Moylan ran into the swinging arm of Sammy and Moylan should be sent off for been concussed
Another scandalous decision by the NRL judiciary. Beyond a joke. Should have been a minimum of 1 week.
That tackle was 100% reckless. It might not have had malicious intentions but every defender has a duty of care to the player he's taking down and Sam showed a complete disregard to that.
He only got off because of his impeccable judiciary record.
Peni got 5 weeks for something similar at the start of last yr and it cost us dearly.
They’ve had a shocker here. Maloney’s out and this blokes not.
This decision kills half the chances the Panthers had to beat the Sharks. Cleary can't create anything this year. I'd prefer a Panthers win since they may be on equal points but Panthers have a negative differantial.
Try assists:
Maloney 16, Cleary 6
Panthers have won 3 games by a drop goal. All kicked by Maloney.
Line Break assists:
Maloney 9, Cleary 7.
