The NRL's match review committee has issued four charges from the Round 10 matches, affecting three players from the Knights and one from the Broncos, all managing to avoid suspension.
In the earlier game, Brodie Jones, Phoenix Crossland, and Kai Pearce-Paul were charged during Newcastle's intense match against the Gold Coast Titans.
Crossland and Pearce-Paul received charges for Grade 1 careless high tackles; Crossland was penalized for his tackle on Titans winger Jojo Fifita, while Pearce-Paul's tackle was against Beau Fermor.
Both players, being on their second offense within a 12-month period, face fines of $1800 each if they accept early guilty pleas or $2500 if they contest the charges and lose.
Brodie Jones was cited for a Grade 1 crusher tackle on Titans stand-in fullback Jaylan de Groot.
Since this is his first offense, he will incur a $1000 fine with an early guilty plea, or $1500 if he opts to challenge the charge and fails.
