The final match of Round 26 has added another judiciary headline, with Dolphins hooker Kurt Donoghoe charged for a high tackle late in his side’s clash.
Donoghoe was cited in the 72nd minute for a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on Titans fullback Keano Kini. Due to his prior record, the penalty has been escalated — he faces a $3,000 fine if he accepts an early plea, or risks three matches if he contests and is found guilty at the panel.

| Kurt Donoghoe | Dolphins | 72nd | High Tackle – Careless | 1 | 3rd & Subsequent Offence | $3,000 | 3 matches | Keano Kini |
