Greg Growden can't get his head around the decision to fine Matt Giteau for his comments about referee Steve Walsh in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"SANZAR got it right in deciding that Steve Walsh shouldn't referee Saturday night's Brumbies-Reds match but were wrong in forcing Matt Giteau to front its judiciary committee last night on a code of conduct charge.
"Giteau was fined $5000 for making comments to a journalist about Walsh's dreadful refereeing last weekend - comments many thought were perfectly justified, considering the despair the Brumbies felt after several of his decisions spoiled their chances of winning in Sydney.
"Giteau was asked legitimate questions by a reporter on Monday, and he gave honest answers."
