Rugby leagues most prominent players, coaches and administrators have united in a chorus of criticism of the NRL over the handling of the shoulder charge debacle.Veteran players Johnathan Thurston and Michael Ennis, NSW mentor Laurie Daley and Penrith supremo Phil Gould all slammed the games governing body on Wednesday as confusion reigned over the shoulder charge.Canberra fullback Jack Wighton will be free to play Cronulla in Saturdays qualifying final after being cleared of a grade-two shoulder charge count at the judiciary.Faced with a four-week ban, Wighton challenged the match review committees (MRC) charge, with the judiciary taking just five minutes to exonerate him.The MRC was roundly condemned for charging Wighton for his hit on the Wests Tigers Joel Edwards yet clearing Sharks hooker Ennis for what appeared to be a similar incident.The NRL went to the trouble of releasing a statement outlining why the Raiders No.1 had been charged but Ennis was let off for his challenge on Melbournes Cheyse Blair.NRL MRC coordinator Michael Buettner argued there was a clear difference and that Ennis had not tucked his arm into his side as he braced for contact while Wighton had.Ennis said the MRC and judiciary were no longer on the same page and the two entities needed to merge so there was consensus.The only problem is (the MRC) see what theyre looking for and they charge or dont charge and then it goes to another set of eyes when it comes to the judiciary, Ennis said.And thats the real issue - thats a problem the NRL need to address.For starters, the guys that are making the call on the charges maybe need to be involved in the judiciary process as well.Cowboys, Queensland and Australian playmaker Thurston said the water had become so muddied, he no longer knew what constituted a shoulder charge.Can you? No, Thurston said when asked to explain what a shoulder charge was.Its a big issue in our game, obviously. Everyones a little bit confused at the moment - Im confused. I cant say too much on it because I dont know what the rules are.NSW coach Laurie Daley said confidence in the match review committee and judiciary had evaporated and he called for an overhaul of the process.No ones got any confidence in it and I think a lot of people are confused about what constitutes dangerous contact, what constitutes a shoulder charge, Daley told News Corp Australia.Theres a lot of things a lot of people are disappointed in. Theres no faith there and I think it needs a overhaul.They need to get the powers-that-be into the room at the end of the year and go through it and review it and make some massive changes.Penrith general manager and Nine Network commentator Phil Gould said the episode had embarrassed the code.The people that are doing this have absolutely no idea what theyre doing, Gould told Sky Sports Radios Big Sports Breakfast.I fear for the future of the game with the people that we have in charge at the moment, honestly.

Adelaide onballer Brad Crouch has signed a four-year contract extension, spurning interest from interstate clubs.The 22-year-old Victorian had been linked to several Melbourne-based clubs, including Hawthorn, but instead signed a new deal with the Crows believed to be worth about $2.2 million.Brads attack on the footy is something that we really value, along with his ability to win the ball inside and outside the contest, Crows coach Don Pyke said on Friday.Hes an important part of our midfield group and a player that will continue to improve with the work he does on and off the field and with further games experience.The explosive midfielder, who gathered a season-best 34-touches in Adelaides 138-point flogging of Brisbane on Saturday, is considered a key figure in the Crows midfield plans following the departure of Patrick Dangerfield.Crouch missed games early in the season with a hamstring injury and was dropped to the SANFL after struggling for form but has since strung together seven consecutive games and played somme of his best football.ddddddddddddThe Crows on-field success this year has helped them retain a number of quality players, including forward Josh Jenkins who last month inked a new five-year deal.Daniel Talia, Brodie Smith, Mitch McGovern and Rory Atkins have also signed new deals but Crouch had appeared the most likely to consider plying his trade elsewhere.Im stoked to continue my career as a Crow and its a credit to my manager Alex McDonald and the club for getting the deal done, Crouch said.Theres plenty of hard work ahead but I think team success isnt too far away.Crouch, whose younger brother Matt has also cemented a spot in the Crows midfield this year, has had a cursed injury run during his short career, missing all of last season with a foot injury and breaking his leg in 2014.He finished second behind Gold Coasts Jaeger OMeara in AFL Rising Star voting in his debut season in 2013.
