Key Takeaways

- Both charges relate to dangerous contact incidents from Friday’s fixtures
Jesse Ramien (Sharks)
Ramien has been charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact offence following an incident involving Clayton Faulalo in the opening minute of the match.
Due to it being a third and subsequent offence on his record, Ramien is facing a suspension rather than a financial penalty.
Early Plea: $3,000 fine
If Guilty at Panel: 2-match suspension
Teig Wilton (Sharks)
Wilton has been charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact offence following contact involving Jamal Fogarty in the 20th minute.
Unlike Ramien, Wilton has a clean record and is eligible for a reduced financial penalty with an early guilty plea.
Early Plea: $1,000 fine
If Guilty at Panel: $1,500 fine
Wilton was not placed on report during the match but was cited by the Match Review Committee upon review.
What Happens Next
The charged players must now decide whether to:
- accept the early guilty plea and take the reduced penalty, or
- challenge the charge at the NRL Judiciary panel
Any contested hearings are expected to take place early next week.
