Two players have been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following Friday night’s Round 26 action, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Nelson Asofa-Solomona both cited for separate incidents.
Warriors winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak was charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Throw in the 48th minute after lifting Sean Russell above the horizontal. With this being his first offence, he faces a financial penalty of $1,000 with an early plea or $1,500 if found guilty at the panel.

Given it was his third and subsequent offence, Asofa-Solomona has been handed a $3,000 fine and a two-match suspension with an early guilty plea.
These charges come after Thursday night’s proceedings where Jacob Preston, Kurt Mann, and debutant Zac Lipowicz were all cited.
