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 dangerous contact charges, ruling them out of South Sydney’s first trial match in 2013 unless they contest them at the judiciary.

While the base penalty for both charges is not enough to warrant a suspension, Crocker has a 50 per cent loading from a similar offence in the past two years while Burgess has 63 carry-over points from a grade two careless high tackle charge in August.

That hit on Gold Coast’s William Zillman, which also carries a 20 per cent loading on his current charge, could put him in doubt for next year’s All Stars fixture at Suncorp Stadium depending on the scheduling of the Rabbitohs’ first trial match.

Crocker was hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge over his late, high hit on Bulldogs kicker Kris Keating.

Burgess’s offence was a grade one dangerous contact charge 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.
