Melbourne Storm enforcer Nelson Asofa-Solomona will miss two matches after a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge in the Round 20 clash with Manly, where his hit controversially denied Harry Grant a try.
He was one of nine players charged over the weekend, with Jacob Kiraz ($2,500 fine for a second Dangerous Throw offence) the only other repeat offender.
The remaining players – including Blayke Brailey, Addin Fonua-Blake, Jamie Humphreys, Coen Hess, Max King, Oryn Keeley, and Jake Simpkin – all accepted fines after early pleas.
