Reece Walsh's headbutt on Hudson Young resulted in minimal punishment, surprising no one involved.
You knew Reece Walsh would get away with headbutting Hudson Young. You just knew.
Canberra officials knew it, too. They were the least surprised on Monday morning when the judiciary report dropped and revealed the Broncos fullback had received a grade-one striking charge, which attracts a trivial fine.
They were joking about it over beers the night before as they processed the craziest NRL finals match in living memory, eventually won by the Broncos 29-28 in the 94th minute.
