IN a round when the NRL has made it obvious it wants to crack down on players touching officials, Mitchell Moses has escaped sanction despite making contact with a referee.

The young half was getting ready to feed a scrum early in the first half when referee Chris James stepped backwards into Moses’ path.

Moses brushed James on the arm to move the referee out of the way in an action similar to the incident which saw Broncos star James Roberts charged.

Moses was not charged by the match review committee on Tuesday as David Klemmer and the Bulldogs prepare to contest a two match ban at the juidicary for his contact with referee Ben Cummins last week.
