Manly Eagle fined for dangerous contact in NRL

LeagueNews.co | Jason Patrick

Manly Sea Eagles utility player, Ben Trbojevic, has been sin-binned by the NRL's match review committee for a bit of argy-bargy on the footy field but will cop a fine rather than a suspension.

Trbojevic, found guilty of dangerous contact during the first half of the game against the Sydney Roosters, is the lone wolf facing consequences from Week 2 of the NRL finals frenzy.

The versatile player, who stepped in early in the game due to Tolutau Koula's concussion, was given a slap on the wrist with a Grade 1 charge for his actions.

Luckily for him, a squeaky-clean three-year run earns him a 25 per cent discount on his penalty, reducing his fine to $750 with an early guilty plea or $1000 if he decides to take on the judiciary panel.

Despite rumors swirling about Jared Waerea-Hargreaves throwing some elbows in the heat of the moment, only Trbojevic ended up in hot water with the MRC.

Looks like the Sea Eagles will have to tighten up their defense as they battle it out in the finals, mate.
