Trent Robinson took aim at a 'careless' challenge on star Sam Walker that led to a scuffle on the field during the Storm's 46-0 drubbing of the Roosters.
The Storm's Maroons star Christian Welch escaped sanction but could be in a bit trouble after a clash of heads with Walker.
As Walker put boot to ball in the second half, Welch charged in to make contact but his head clashed with the teenager's. Regardless of the accidental nature, several other similar incidents have been dealt with harshly.
The tackle sparked a fracas when James Tedesco shoved Storm players after a replay of the incident was shown on the big screen. During the exchange Jared Waerea-Hargreaves threw Felise Kaufusi to the ground. However, Welch and Waerea-Hargreaves went unpunished on the field.
Robinson was clearly upset about the inconsistency over calls.
"I didn't like that challenge," Robinson said.
"He kicked the ball and got hit in the head after he kicked the ball.
"I'm sick of talking about Roosters players and head contact, I'm sick of talking about it."
Melbourne on the other hand became the first team to score 40 points in 10 games in one season.
They are also averaging a mammoth 36.5 points per game, the most of any team in the NRL era.
"I've been around too long to be saying that it's a two-horse race at this time of the year," Bellamy said.
"There's a lot of things are going to happen between now and the end of the year until the finals time.
"Some things are going to help some teams and some things are going to hinder some teams."
