Journalist Andrew Webster believes Reece Walsh should have faced suspension, not just a fine, for headbutt.
Journalist Andrew Webster said Reece Walsh should have been suspended for his headbutt on Hudson Young, believing it's "insane" he was only fined.
Walsh was charged with grade one striking over the incident at the 53rd minute of the Broncos' thrilling 29-28 victory over the Raiders in their qualifying final at GIO Stadium on Sunday.
But he escaped with only a $3,000 fine with an early guilty plea.

"Ridiculous, he should have got a week.
"Don't you think that's insane that a headbutt, what, a headbutt is just a fine?
