$9000 fines and six suspensions, uncertainty remains about NRL's head-high crackdown and sin bin protocol.
More than $9000 in fines and six games of suspensions from 12 players charged, but we're still no closer to knowing what a sin bin looks like in the NRL's head-high crackdown.
Especially given only six players were binned for high contact during round five - including one that wasn't even charged by the match review committee.
With a crackdown on, you'd expect every player charged should have been sent to the sin bin, meaning seven players were lucky to avoid a 10-minute rest - especially Manly forward Corey Waddell, who has been suspended for two games for his high shot on Tyran Wishart.
