NRL: The Sunday Ticket team compare Kodi Nikorima's contact on Scott Drinkwater that went unpunished, with Harry Grant's sin binning after contact with Dan Atkinson.

NRL head of football Graham Annesley insists there is no crackdown on dangerous contact with kickers as the Melbourne Storm confirmed they would be fighting Harry Grant ’s charge which left the representative hooker “shocked”.

The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?“I had no intention of going in with any intent to hurt ‘Atko’, I just went to put kick pressure on, which is a big part of the game.“We can’t lose kick pressure in the game. It’s a big part of the game.”

“I have to be careful because there’s a hearing that will take place, but one thing I can clarify is that there has been no directive given to match officials or the match review committee about any supposed crackdown on incidents like that,” Annesley said.
