A Ben Hunt moment for JS.. I hope this doesn't haunt him for the rest of his career! Lucky it wasn't a mistake that cost a GF win!
I expect to see this footage used a lot.

Again, nothing questioned by the commentary team
Thats a bit too much 4 games ?
They flushed it down the toilet in 2014.There is no integrity in the NRL.
Totally reactive then inevitably overcorrectI'm so glad they had that 2 week crackdown that saw players get binned costing their teams 2 crucial competition points, or copping suspensions seeing them miss key games..... only to completely change tact and now not even suspend players for worse tackles.
There is no integrity in the NRL.
The grading system and judiciary is a joke. Who in their right mind (Matterson excluded) is going to the panel and maybe coping 2 weeks instead of accepting the fine? The NRL really has to get serious with this. Can't have such a big discrepancy between accepting a fine or potential suspension. There should not be an option of a fine or suspension. The charge should either be a fine only for a minor offence or else you miss X weeks if deemed serious enough.Friday

The NRL are loving it because as you say no one is going to risk a suspension when they can take a fine thus they are admitting guilt and the NRL is vindicated in their decision.The grading system and judiciary is a joke.
