2 days ago | LeagueUnlimited Media
29 March 1:00pm AEDT: Parramatta's Manu Ma'u could miss two matches after a tackle on Wests Tigers' Josh Aloiai saw him handed a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact (Head and Neck) charge by the NRL's Match Review Committee. With loading for prior offences and carry-over points, Ma'u will miss two matches regardless if he enters an early guilty plea or unsuccessfully contests the grading.
Marika Koroibete, meanwhile, has been cited for a Grade 1 Tripping offence in Melbourne's loss to Cronulla last night, and will miss one match with the early guilty plea.
28 March 3:30pm AEDT: Gold Coast's Ryan James is facing a one week ban as one of four players charged over the first five games of the Easter Weekend - NRL's Round 4.
James' suspension is for a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact charge on Canberra's Jordan Rapana in their 24-20 on Saturday, for which he has prior non-similar offences which add loadings, as well as 27 carry over points.
Chase Stanley (Bulldogs - Grade 1 Dangerous Contact), Frank Paul Nuuausala (Raiders, Grade 1 Dangerous Contact) and Joel Thompson (Dragons - Grade 2 careless high tackle) can all escape suspension with the early guilty plea.
