Penrith Panthers' official website, penrithpanthers.com.au, has confirmed that their five-eighth, Jarome Luai, has been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee after their victorious clash against Melbourne on Friday night.
Luai has been hit with a grade 1 charge for a careless high tackle on Storm forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona in the 47th minute of the Round 23 game.
However, the talented Panthers five-eighth managed to escape suspension by accepting a monetary penalty through an early guilty plea.
This news will come as a relief to both Luai and the Panthers, as they would not want to lose their key player during the crucial stages of the season.
Luai's presence on the field has been instrumental in the team's success this year, and his absence could have had significant consequences for the Panthers' campaign.
Nonetheless, this incident serves as a reminder for Luai to exercise caution and avoid any further disciplinary actions in the future.
