Also charged by the committee in Round 20 was Broncos prop Adam Blair, who will miss two weeks after also entering an early guilty plea following his shoulder charge on Titans halfback Kane Elgey.

Josh Reynolds has pleaded guilty to a grade one dangerous contact – head/neck charge on Valentine Holmes and accepted a one-match ban, although he will also miss four to six weeks with a knee injury.

Knights playmaker Tyrone Roberts was also charged for a dangerous throw on South Sydney centre Dylan Walker, but is free to play in Round 21 after entering an early guilty plea.
