Wests Tigers prop Aitasi James has found himself in hot water after accepting an early guilty plea for a grade one careless high tackle in Friday night's clash against the Rabbitohs in Tamworth.
The 25-year-old forward has been hit with a $1000 fine, putting a dent in his pocket.
However, the silver lining for James is that he will still be able to take the field next weekend when the Tigers face off against the Raiders in Canberra.
Despite the setback, James will be determined to put this incident behind him and focus on delivering a strong performance in the upcoming game.
The Tigers will be relying on his physicality and strength as they aim to secure a crucial victory against the formidable Raiders.
James' presence in the forward pack will be vital in providing the necessary go-forward and defensive steel needed to combat the Raiders' powerful runners.
With his suspension lifted, James will have the opportunity to prove his worth and contribute to his team's success in their quest for a spot in the finals.
