Following the Sydney Roosters Round 27 match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Fletcher Baker has been cited by the Match Review Committee.
The NRL Judiciary Update: Round 27 on roosters.com.au reports that Baker was issued with a Grade One Dangerous Throw Charge as a result of an incident that occurred in the 42nd minute of the game.
If Baker chooses to enter an early guilty plea, he will receive a monetary fine of $1000.
However, if he is found guilty at the panel, he will receive a $1500 fine.
This citation means that Baker will have to attend a hearing before the NRL Judiciary Panel to determine the outcome of his charge.
The panel will review the incident and hear submissions from both Baker and the NRL prosecutor.
They will then make a decision on whether Baker is guilty or not guilty of the dangerous throw charge.
The decision made by the panel will determine the penalty Baker receives, which could range from a fine to a suspension from future games.
The outcome of this judiciary update will be eagerly anticipated by both fans and officials of the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
