Jason Taumalolo will be free to play in North Queensland's finals campaign, with the Cowboys to wait until after the October 11 court hearing to determine if a punishment is necessary after he was charged over an alleged egging spree.

The superstar forward was named among five Cowboys set to face court after an incident in Townsville on Wednesday night.

Taumalolo, who attended the NRL's Captain's Call in Sydney on Monday, is the only first grade player in a group who were stopped by police and charged with two counts of wilful damage after the incident which allegedly occurred outside a convenience store in Townsville.

However the NRL won't intervene and impose a punishment on Taumalolo that would lead to him missing a game during the finals series, with the Cowboys likely to hit the 23-year-old with a fine if he is found guilty.
