Vale: Terry Hill
7 hours ago | National Rugby League
Melbourne Storm forward David Kidwell will decide today whether to fight a grapple tackle charge, facing a one-match ban for head-neck contact on Penrith prop Joel Clinton. He can escape suspension with an early guilty plea and so can Penrith utility back Brett Howland for a grade one dangerous throw.
Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello will avoid suspension for a grade one careless high tackle even if he decides to fight the charge and loses.
But early pleas mean nothing for St George Illawarra lock Shaun Timmins - facing one match for grade one tripping - and Brisbane backrower Neville Costigan, two matches for a grade one dangerous throw.
