Roosters forward Victor Radley is free to play against Brisbane this week after being found not guilty of a grade one dangerous throw charge at the judiciary on Tuesday night.

Radley, who was facing a one-match ban, needed to successfully contest the charge in order to play in Thursday’s match against Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.

He was charged over a 39th-minute tackle on South Sydney’s Dane Gagai in last Friday night’s 28-12 win at  Bankwest Stadium.

Earlier, Melbourne forwards Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui both accepted dangerous contact charges. 

Asofa-Solomona was charged for an incident involving Canberra prop Dunamis Lui in the 13th minute of Melbourne’s loss at AAMI Park. He could not reduce the one-match ban with an early guilty plea.

Unlike his teammate, Fa’asuamaleaui has avoided a one-game ban with his early plea.

Warriors veteran Agnatius Paasi has accepted a one-match ban for dangerous conduct.

The only other player suspended was Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs.

He will miss one match after entering an early plea for grade-two careless high tackle on Parramatta five-eighth Dylan Brown during last Thursday 34-6 loss at Suncorp Stadium.

The grade-two charge carried a two-game suspension for Staggs if found guilty, or a one-game suspension with an early plea, and he will return for the clash with Manly in round five at Gosford.

Edrick Lee (dangerous contact) was the only player charged from Sunday’s two games for an incident in the 23rd minute involving Panthers forward Kurt Capewell but the Newcastle winger avoided suspension with an early guilty plea.

The other players copped fines or avoided suspensions with the early guilty plea – Norman (dangerous contact: 75 demerit points), Wests Tigers forwards Alex Twal (contrary conduct: $1350 fine) and Oliver Clark (dangerous contact: 75 demerit points) and Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (grade-one careless high tackle: $1600).

Sydney Roosters forward Victor Radley will contest a Grade 1 Dangerous Throw charge at the judiciary in a bid to play in Thursday’s match against Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.

Radley was charged over a 39th minute tackle on South Sydney’s Dane Gagai in last Friday night’s 28-12 win at  Bankwest Stadium.

If a successful case is put forward to the judiciary at Tuesday night’s hearing, which will be held via video conference, Radley will free to play but if found guilty he will receive 135 points demerit points and be suspended for one match.

An early guilty plea would have equated to a one match ban due to loading for a prior recent offence and 15 carry-over points,

Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has entered an early guilty plea for a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on Rabbitohs player Alex Johnston.

Waerea-Hargreaves received a $1600 fine and is available to play the Broncos.

Brisbane centre Kotoni Staggs will miss the match after entering an early plea for grade-two careless high tackle on Parramatta five-eighth Dylan Brown during last Thursday 34-6 loss at Suncorp Stadium.

The Grade 2 charge carried a two-game suspension for Staggs if found guilty, or a one-game suspension with an early plea, and he will returnfor the Round 5 clash with Manly at the Central Coast.

Roosters forward Victor Radley is facing a one-match ban for a careless high tackle on Manly prop Martin Taupau, and is one of three players charged by the NRL match review committee from Sunday’s Telstra Premiership matches.

Radley will receive a one-match suspension if he enters an early guilty plea or is found guilty at the judiciary, after being hit with a grade two charge.

His Roosters teammate Joseph Manu can avoid a suspension with an early plea after being charged with dangerous contact over a tackle on Manly’s Dylan Walker that drew criticism from Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett. 

Dragons forward Tyson Frizell was the other player charged from Sunday’s matches, and can avoid a ban if he pleads guilty to making dangerous contact to the head/neck of Melbourne fullback Billy Slater.
