Sydney Roosters halfback Sam Walker has been cleared of a charge after being sin-binned for a cannonball tackle during a recent match against the St George Illawarra Dragons.
This game marked Walker's return to NRL after nearly a year, following recovery from an ACL injury and a broken thumb.
The incident occurred just before halftime when Walker tackled Dragons' prop David Klemmer.
Despite receiving a sin bin punishment, the NRL's match review committee decided not to press any charges against Walker.
Roosters head coach Trent Robinson remarked that the sin bin was a "heavy price" to pay.
In total, five charges were issued from the weekend's matches, with three of those related to the Roosters' gameplay.
