Nicho Hynes calls for MRC consistency after Cleary charge

Nicho Hynes of the Cronulla Sharks commented on the aftermath of Nathan Cleary's sin binning during the qualifying final against the Penrith Panthers. Cleary was penalized for dangerous contact on Hugo Savala but was not suspended after the match review committee ruled he would face a Grade 1 charge. Hynes expressed a desire for consistency in the decisions made by the MRC, acknowledging the confusion surrounding similar incidents throughout the season. He emphasized that it's important to ensure equal treatment for all players, regardless of their status in the league. Cleary will be available for Penrith's preliminary final in two weeks against either the New Zealand Warriors or Newcastle Knights.
