What a surprise ... Cameron Smith gets away with no charge for another classic Storm grub tactic :

https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...i/news-story/278d09957f5876c80d028d49ca146216

Smith leverages all of Feki's body weight to bend Feki's elbow joint the wrong way. It was a miracle it didn't break his arm.

It was a deliberate grub act from Smith, a new variation on the chicken wing Bellamy pioneered - and like Bill Harrigan says in the link, it deserved a chicken wing charge. But of course no charge for Saint Cam. If it was Gallen or Fifita, the media uproar for a charge would be deafening.

Melbourne & specifically Smith keep plumbing new depths in their dodgy wrestling tactics.
They are an absolute blight on the game.

And you missed the point that it's nothing like the uproar that would occur if it was any player other than Smith.

The Storm deliberately target the neck, head, try to wrench out shoulder & elbow joints.
They invented the grapple, the chicken wing ... you name it.
No other club tries to deliberately injure players in wrestle tackles like the Storm do.
And it always ramps up around finals time.
