The latest scoop from penrithpanthers.com.au reveals that Turuva has been hit with a fine for an unfortunate trip in the heat of battle.
Panthers' speedster Sunia Turuva found himself in hot water after a tussle with Sydney Roosters' James Tedesco during last night's showdown.
The NRL Match Review Committee has come down hard on Turuva, charging him with a grade one dangerous contact for his controversial trip in the 58th minute at BlueBet Stadium.
Despite the slip-up, Turuva can breathe a sigh of relief as he only faces a financial penalty and remains in contention for the Panthers' upcoming showdown in two weeks' time.
In a twist of fate, Turuva stood alone as the lone Panther player to feel the wrath of the Match Review Committee in Finals Week One.
As the Panthers look ahead to their next challenge, Turuva will be eager to put this incident behind him and focus on getting back to business on the field.
