Melbourne and Canterbury will not have any judiciary concerns leading into Sunday’s NRL grand final after all players were cleared by the match review panel on Sunday.

Storm enforcer Sika Manu had been put on report for making dangerous contact with the neck of Manly’s Jamie Buhrer in Friday night’s 40-12 thrashing of the defending premiers, but escaped punishment and will be free to play in the decider.

South Sydney were not as fortunate, with co-captains Michael Crocker and Sam Burgess both hit with low-grade charges.

Crocker faces a one-game suspension, to be served in next year’s pre-season trials, for a grade one dangerous contact charge over his late, high hit on Bulldogs kicker Kris Keating.

Burgess will escape suspension with an early guilty plea after he was hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge of his own for leading with the knees while attempting to stop Bulldogs winger Sam Perrett from scoring a try.

The incident, which happened in the 36th minute, led to a potential eight-point try for the Bulldogs, although kicker Krisnan Inu missed the sideline conversion before slotting the penalty goal from in front.
