Cronulla grand final hero Andrew Fifita is poised to escape with a fine rather than further suspension after the NRL issued a breach notice over his support for one-punch killer Kieran Loveridge.

Fifita, his lawyer and Sharks coach Shane Flanagan met with NRL officials at Rugby League Central on Tuesday, where he was served with the breach notice. It's understood Fifita, who has five working days to respond, will be slugged $20,000 for his role in the saga.

Fifita wore arm bands with FKL written on the strapping, which he said stood for 'For Kieran Loveridge'. Loveridge was convicted of killing Thomas Kelly in 2012.

The NRL prevented Fifita from being considered for Australia's victorious Four Nations campaign over the matter, despite the fact he was one of the form forwards of the competition. Head office took into account that penalty - including the financial rewards that would have come with representing the Kangaroos - in formulating its final sanction.
