NRL MATCH REVIEW: Round 12

Eels forward Pauli Pauli has been cited for a grade one dangerous contact charge for his hit on Panthers playmaker Jamie Soward in Parramatta's Round 12 win over Penrith.

The grading of the charge - combined with Pauli's previous good record - will mean the Eels giant won't miss any game time with an early guilty plea.

Also charged in Round 12, Titans second-rower Ryan James will also escape suspension with an early guilty plea for his challenge on Greg Inglis.

Much like Pauli's charge, a grade one dangerous contact - head/neck charge attracts a base penalty of 100 points, reduced to 75 with an early plea.
