So that's 2 MCL injures now on roosters players caused by foul play without so much as a penalty during the game. On this occasion the bunker actually looked at it and took no action.

So Storm are the cleanest team in the NRL, no suspensions and lowest fines. To LU posters who call them a grubby team you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Common sense prevails. Piakura put on report for nothing. The bunker sees whiplash and panics. Most legal tackles have a degree of whiplash. But because the officials use whiplash as a key determinant in differentiating the degree of force their judgement gets blurred. Degree of whiplash is only relevant for a high tackle from the point of view of placing a player on report.The exact same thing happened to To’o .

Do the women get warnings rather than fines due to the pay differential with the men's game?

The asterisk in Saturday's charges indicates that players can choose to pay a $400 fine in place of a 1 match suspension.

Thanks. There are also some that have Warning but no asterisk. Was the asterisk left off by mistake?

No. Rule 39A (per info at the link) does not apply to Grade 1 charges with no priors.
