NRL heavily punishes Whitehead, but lenient on Mitchell, confusing standards in the league.
On the one hand, the NRL have doubled down on Elliott Whitehead's love tap with one of the most heavy handed responses in the history of the NRL.
Then on the other, the NRL's one-game ban of injured star Latrell Mitchell for bringing the game into disrepute is a chance of becoming completely meaningless.
Only in the NRL - where only occasionally do things make sense.
