Cameron Munster, the five-eighth for Melbourne Storm, has evaded suspension following a downgrade of his dangerous contact charge by the NRL Match Review Committee after Saturday's match against Manly.
Originally, he faced a potential one-week ban, with a possibility of two if he contested the charge unsuccessfully, stemming from a low tackle on Sea Eagles prop Taniela Paseka's knees.
In this incident, Munster was the third player involved in the tackle and aimed at Paseka's legs, leaving the Manly player in distress.
Following this, Paseka required assistance to leave the field, and Munster received a grade two dangerous contact charge.
However, the MRC has now reconsidered the situation and downgraded it to a grade one after reviewing a medical report suggesting Paseka's injury is less severe than initially thought.
The NRL released a statement clarifying that new information justified this downgrade, allowing Munster to face just a $750 fine for admitting guilt.
"When initially ascribing a grading to Melbourne Storm's Cameron Munster for the charge of dangerous contact, the MRC considered the contents of a medical report provided by the injured player's club, which offered preliminary details as to the nature and extent of the injury," explained the NRL statement.
"Subsequently, the match review committee has received a further report which materially alters the nature and extent of the injury suffered by the player."
"Pursuant to Rule 61 of the NRL Judiciary Code, where further expert or medical information warrants a different grading, the match review committee may authorise the match review manager to amend the grading and issue an amended notice of charge."
