NRL MATCH REVIEW: 2016 Round 19

A look at the charges so far from Round 19 of the National Rugby League.

Friday | Dragons v Titans

Gold Coast second rower Greg Bird is facing a week on the sidelines after being hit with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle charge on St George Illawarra five-eighth Gareth Widdop in the 36th minute of his side's 32-12 win on Friday night. The base penalty of 125 increases with Bird's carryover points and 70% loading, meaning an early plea is only worth 159 points (one week), while a guilty finding at judiciary will see him miss two matches (212 points).

RESULT: Bird took the early guilty plea and will miss Saturday's match against Parramatta. One match.

Saturday | Sea Eagles v Warriors

Charlie Gubb from the Warriors is facing a heavy suspension for his 13th minute Grade 2 Shoulder Charge on Manly's Darcy Lussick in Saturday night's golden point loss in Perth. The charge attracts a 350 point base penalty, which with 100% loading for 2 prior offences in the last two years, sees Gubb in line to miss anywhere from five games (525 points with the early plea) to seven (700 points if found guilty at the judiciary).

RESULT: Gubb pleads guilty but will dispute the grading of the charge at the judiciary on Wednesday night. Judiciary case pending.

Sunday | Knights v Storm

The Knights have had three players cited from yesterday's loss to Melbourne.

Daniel Saifiti has been issued a Grade 1 Shoulder Charge offence with a 200 point base penalty. An early plea (150) for the incident involving Cameron Munster in the 51st minute will see him miss only one week, while an unsuccessful contest at the judiciary will see him serve two matches.

Jake Mamo has been hit with a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact - Head/Neck charge (250 points) which will see him miss a week with the early plea (187). He'll miss two weeks if he challenges unsuccessfully at judiciary for the contact on Tohu Harris in the 73rd minute.

Sione Mata'utia has a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle charge arising in the 26th minute on Dale Finucane, for which he'll only miss a week if he contests at judiciary (105). An early plea, despite his carryover points, will see him escape suspension (78).

RESULTS: All three have taken early pleas. Daniel Saifiti & Jake Mamo one match, Sione Mata'utia free to play.

Sunday | Panthers v Eels

Penrith's Leilani Latu has been hit with a Grade 1 Tripping charge from an incident involving Clint Gutherson in the 60th minute of his side's win over Parramatta. With 75 points as the base penalty reduced to 56 with an early plea, Latu won't miss any game time.

RESULT: Latu took the early plea and is free to play.

No charges were laid in Saturday's Rabbitohs v Broncos or Monday's Roosters v Sharks clashes.

All players bar Warriors' forward Charlie Gubb have taken the early guilty plea.
