The NRL's match review committee faces criticism for perceived inconsistency in their handling of player charges, particularly highlighted by two recent incidents involving crusher tackles.

Panthers forward Moses Leota notably avoided a charge for a significant crusher tackle during the match against the Wests Tigers, despite the tackle being flagged by on-field officials at the time.

In contrast, Raiders player Zac Hosking was charged for a seemingly less severe crusher tackle against South Sydney's Keaon Koloamatangi.

The Hosking incident occurred early in the Raiders' match and resulted from an awkward position as the attacker reversed into the defender.
