NRL Players Cited After Weekend Matches

The Match Review Committee was quite active following the Friday night fixtures in Round 23 of the NRL season, citing four players from the Warriors-Panthers and Roosters-Bulldogs matches.

Leading the five charges is Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs forward Kurt Mann, who faces two distinct charges resulting from the same game.

From the Warriors-Panthers encounter, Paul Alamoti of the Penrith Panthers received a Grade 1 Dangerous Throw charge in the 24th minute for an incident involving Leka Halasima.

This marks Alamoti's first offence, allowing him the option to plead guilty early for a $1,000 fine, or to contest it at the judiciary and face a $1,500 penalty if unsuccessful.

Sydney Roosters forward Victor Radley was also charged, receiving a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle at the close of the first half against Kurt Mann.

For Radley, this is a second offence, leading to a more substantial fine of $1,800 if he takes the early plea, and escalating to $2,500 should he dispute the charge.

The Bulldogs are under the most scrutiny from the judiciary, as their match included two players facing a total of three charges.

Kurt Mann indeed had a difficult night, earning himself two charges throughout the game.

His first charge occurred in the 41st minute, classified as a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on Connor Watson.
