This post provides an update on the recent charges that have been placed on players following the Saturday matches, including our own New Zealand Warriors player, Erin Clark.
Canberra Raiders' Ethan Strange and NZ Warriors' Erin Clark Charged
Firstly, it's important to note that the NRL's match review committee has laid charges on Canberra Raiders five-eighth, Ethan Strange, and New Zealand Warriors forward, Erin Clark. These charges are in relation to offences that occurred during Saturday's games.
Ethan Strange's Charge
In the Raiders' match against the Canterbury Bulldogs, Strange was charged with a Grade 1 dangerous throw on Stephen Crichton during the first half. This charge marks the second on his 12-month record. As a result, he is expected to pay a $2500 fine if he pleads guilty early. If he decides to challenge this decision at the NRL judiciary and loses, he risks facing a two-match ban.
Erin Clark's Charge
In the middle game, our very own Erin Clark was reported for a high shot against Jack de Belin, the middle forward for the St George Illawarra Dragons, during the second half. As this is his first offence on record, he will only have to pay a $1000 fine if he submits an early guilty plea. However, if he decides to challenge the decision at the judiciary and loses, the fine will increase to $1500.
Saturday's Final Game
The final game on Saturday, which was a 90-minute draw between the North QLD Morons Cowboys and Penrith Panthers, saw no players charged.
Consistency Issues with Officials
It is important to mention that there have been ongoing disconnect issues between officials on the field, in the NRL bunker and the match review committee in recent weeks. However, no other players were reported during Saturday's games.
Decisions on Pleas
Both Clark and Strange have until midday (AEST) on Monday to decide whether they will accept their early guilty pleas or head to the NRL judiciary to challenge the decisions.
User reactions on the nzwarriors.com forum have been mixed. Some users feel the charges are justified while others are questioning the consistency of the league's match review process. As always, we encourage healthy and respectful discussion on this topic.
As always, we will continue to keep you updated on the team's progress, standings, and any other relevant news right here on the forum.
