Townsend charged by MRC

LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The showdown between the Tuilagi and Collins on Saturday night ended in controversial fashion, with Tuilagi being sin binned in the fourth minute for a dangerous throw that has landed him in hot water with the Match Review Committee.

Tuilagi now faces a Grade 3 Dangerous Throw charge, which could see him benched for four games with an early plea, or potentially five games if he decides to take his chances at the judiciary.

It's a tough blow for the Queenslander, who will be sorely missed on the field as he serves his time.

Meanwhile, Watene-Zelezniak has found himself in a sticky situation after being charged with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle on Grant Anderson from the Storm.

With a one-match ban looming if he takes the early guilty plea, he could be looking at two games on the sidelines if he decides to contest the charge and loses.

And let's not forget Waerea-Hargreaves, who is also facing the music with a potential two-match suspension if he decides to challenge the charge against him.

It's a tough time for these players as they navigate the ups and downs of the game, but such is the nature of Rugby League.

Time will tell how they fare in the coming matches, but one thing's for sure - they'll be leaving it all out on the field.
