Will Chambers

Charged! Melbourne’s Will Chambers, South Sydney’s Sam Burgess facing suspensions

In the aftermath of a heated Good Friday of NRL action, Chambers and Burgess were both charged with dangerous contract by the match review committee.

Chambers was cited for a grapple tackle on Paul Gallen at the conclusion of Cronulla’s upset win over the premiers.

It will only heighten tensions between Chambers and Gallen after the Storm outside back last year sledged the Cronulla skipper as a “drug cheat”.

The Queensland and Australian three-quarter was hit with a grade two offence and is facing a fortnight on the sidelines even with an early guilty plea.

Quickest half we've ever played: Cronk

Cooper Cronk and Will Chambers can hold their heads high after the Maroons' loss, with Cronk's pinpoint kicking game keeping Queensland in the game during the first 40 minutes of play, and Chambers's 184 metres and nine tackle busts arguably the best 80-minute performance in Kevin Walters's side. 

With both being so heavily involved in the first half, it is no surprise they felt it the most, and for good reason. 

The first 40 minutes saw end-to-end football, as each side enjoyed 50 per cent of possession in a game that had a frenetic pace.
