Saturday's rugby league matches were filled with action, featuring everything from slippery conditions to intense brawls. As a result, a total of eight players have been charged, with one facing a significant suspension.
Cronulla Sharks' Briton Nikora is facing a three-game suspension due to a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle charge concerning Corey Allan. If Nikora contests the charge and is unsuccessful, he risks extending his suspension to four weeks. This situation presents a substantial setback for Cronulla, which is working to keep its finals aspirations alive.
The subsequent match between the Sydney Roosters and the Dolphins also saw multiple players at risk of MRC charges due to the heated nature of the game. Spencer Leniu is facing two charges for Grade 1 Contrary Conduct, while teammate Kurt Donoghoe has two charges for a high tackle and a shoulder charge.
