The NRL is poised to take action after Stephen Crichton was allowed to remain on the field for an offence that players were sin binned for just 24 hours earlier.
Bunker official Liam Kennedy is likely to be stood down over the decision not to send Stephen Crichton to the sin bin in Canterbury’s win over the Warriors on Friday night.
The match review committee has slapped Crichton with a grade-two careless high tackle charge after he collected Roger Tuivasa-Sheck with his shoulder. That moment effectively ended Tuivasa-Sheck’s NRL season, given he was forced from the field for a head injury assessment, which was deemed a category one, and the Warriors have the bye in the final round.
The NRL is not permitted to comment on an active judiciary case, but sources at head office are disappointed about the lack of action taken on the field. On X, formerly known as Twitter, former premiership-winning prop Martin Lang described the failure to sin bin Crichton as a “dreadful decision.”
