It wasn’t a little bit of head to head though. Pennington was retreating and the Sydney player very aggressively continues to incite it.

It’s either both red or none. 
That's the issue for me. You can argue a red for Pennington. But, by the same standard, why not a red for Burgess?

The same for Kraev. I think the two yellows were not totally unreasonable.  You can debate that.  But if you apply the standard that gave Kraev two yellows then I think Sydney got away with a lot, without cards. 

It's interesting to think what the call would have been if Pennington had simply put his hands in the air to make the point he was not engaging and continued to attempt to retreat. You'd think a yellow or worse for Burgess and nothing for Pennington.
