Eels lock Nathan Brown is taking on the judiciary on Tuesday night in a bid to avoid a two-game suspension after being charged for high tackle offence.
Brown was charged with a grade-two careless high tackle over a 64th-minute hit on Roosters lock Victor Radley in Saturday night’s loss by Parramatta at Bankwest Stadium.
The Eels star, who has two non-similar offences over the past two years, is seeking a downgrade of the charge after entering an early guilty plea.
Radley has accepted a fine of $700 for a high shot of his own on Eels skipper Clint Gutherson.
Bulldogs winger Christian Crichton is the only other player charged in round six yet to have his matter resolved.
He could be suspended for two matches for a shoulder charge on Sharks fullback Matt Moylan on Monday night. He has been charged with a grade-one offence for the tackle in the 34th minute but can have the ban halved with an early guilty plea.
Broncos forwards Patrick Carrigan and Tom Flegler have each accepted a one-game suspension after being charged over incidents in Thursday night’s loss to Newcastle in Gosford.
Carrigan was facing a two-match ban over a grade-two conduct charge for his late hit on Knights halfback Mitchell Pearce in the 59th minute. He reduced the ban to one game with an early guilty plea.
Flegler has also be banned one match after he entered an early guilty plea over a 43rd-minute incident involving Newcastle forward Sione Mata’utia.
Dragons winger Jordan Pereira is out for two games for a hit on Corey Thompson in the 23rd minute of St George Illawarra’s win at Suncorp Stadium. He could have been banned for three weeks if he did not enter an early guilty plea.
Tigers trio Harry Grant, Josh Aloiai and Sam McIntyre will avoid suspensions after entering guilty pleas for with grade-one offences in their team’s win over North Queensland.
Warriors hooker Wayde Egan is out of Friday’s clash with Melbourne after entering an early guilty plea over an incident involving Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell.
Egan was charged with a grade-two contrary conduct charge after he appeared to rake his hand across Mitchell’s face on Friday.
Panthers five-eighth Jarome Luai has avoided a ban by entering an early guilty plea for a dangerous contact – head/neck charge resulting from a tackle on Melbourne’s Felise Kaufusi.
