Mitch Moses has criticized the NRL for what he perceives as unjust charges, particularly in the case of his Parramatta Eels teammate Dylan Brown being cited for a referee push.
Brown, the Eels five-eighth, admitted to a grade-two contrary contact charge for making contact with referee Gerard Sutton while contesting a kick in a recent match against Canterbury.
Despite Brown's plea, he will serve a one-match ban during round 16 when Parramatta plays against the Gold Coast Titans due to the team's bye this week.
During his debut for Canterbury, Lachlan Galvin showed promise, leaving fans eager to see more of his performance in the future.
Moses, expressing frustration over the situation, defended Brown's actions as incidental, emphasizing his focus on the ball and the lack of intent to collide with the referee.
Comparisons were drawn to a previous incident involving Melbourne halfback Jahrome Hughes, who received a suspension for pushing a referee, highlighting inconsistencies in the NRL's disciplinary actions.
Moses questioned the rationale behind penalizing Brown, given his clean record and lack of aggressive behavior on the field.
He criticized the match review committee for what he perceived as arbitrary decision-making, leading to the loss of one of Parramatta's key players.
