The NRL Match Review Committee has handed down a total of 11 charges from Saturday’s Round 23 fixtures, including multiple high tackles, contrary conduct incidents, and a shoulder charge.
Sharks forward Briton Nikora is facing the longest ban – three matches with an early plea – after being charged with a Grade 2 careless high tackle on Corey Allan in the 77th minute. It was deemed his third and subsequent offence within the relevant period.
Dolphins back Kurt Donoghoe and Roosters prop Spencer Leniu were both charged twice from the same match, while Francis Molo was also cited for two separate incidents.
