Sharks and Rabbitohs: Fines Over Flair

LeagueNews.co | Jess Malloy

The NRL's Match Review Committee has issued three charges stemming from Friday's double-header, but all involved players will only face fines.

According to reports from Zero Tackle, the charges pertain to two forwards from the Cronulla Sharks, Blayke Brailey and Addin Fonua-Blake, alongside Jamie Humphreys, the halfback for the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

In the opening match, where the Sharks defeated the Sydney Roosters, both Brailey and Fonua-Blake received charges for separate incidents occurring within a minute of one another.

Brailey was charged with a Grade 1 dangerous throw on Roosters player Billy Smith.

This marks a first offence for Brailey, who will incur a $1,000 penalty if he enters an early guilty plea.

If he contests the charge and is found guilty by the judiciary, the fine could rise to $1,500.

The dangerous tackle resulted in Smith being removed from the game for a head injury assessment (HIA), which he did not pass.
