Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 3646727, member: 1978"] Grade 1 crusher. My memory is he took the 3 weeks instead of the $4k . I think he may have tried to undo it at some stage due to the backlash he copped but couldn't.

Matterson has come under heavy criticism for the decision, stemming from a crusher charge from the Eels' grand final loss to the [URL='https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/penrith-panthers']Panthers[/URL]. "The explanation that's been put forward is [the fine] came to him during the downtime after the grand final when they were obviously unhappy," Danny Weidler said on Nine's [URL='https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/100-footy']100% Footy[/URL].
