Sydney Roosters' Nate Myles has been suspended for six weeks after taking an early guilty plea for a dangerous throw on Ben Cross in Wednesday's Origin decider.
The tackle, which came early in the second half, has been described by leading orthopaedic surgeon Merv Cross as "one of the worst I've ever seen".
However referee Tony Archer, despite placing Myles on report, decided not to send the Queensland forward from the field, sparking outrade in the Blues camp.
Front-rower Cross said yesterday he was sick of being on the receiving end of dangerous throws, but refused to comment on the sentence.
"I hope no one else does it to me otherwise I will go off my head.
"I think the footage says it all.
"I don't want to incriminate him any more."
I hope no one else does it to me otherwise I will go off my head.
