NRL Judiciary Report: Talakai in Hot Water
In a clash that echoed the great battles of the past, Talakai found himself in the sin bin after a 12th-minute incident that has now landed him in hot water.
The former NSW Origin star has been charged with a Grade Two Careless High Tackle, a decision that could see him facing a ban from the game.
If Talakai chooses to take the easy road and submit an early plea, he will be sidelined for one match.
However, if he decides to fight the charge and take his chances at the NRL judiciary, he could find himself out of action for two matches.
But Talakai was not the only one feeling the heat.
Kennar also found himself in the spotlight after a tackle on Shaun Lane in the 24th minute at CommBank Stadium.
The Grade 1 offence has landed him with a fine of $1800, a consequence that comes as his second offence.
As the dust settles on this latest chapter in the world of Rugby League, fans are left wondering what lies ahead for these two players and their teams.
Will they rise to the challenge and overcome this setback, or will they fall short in their quest for glory? Only time will tell as the drama of the season continues to unfold.
