However, all can escape suspension, with Flegler only facing a ban for his third offence of the season if he unsuccessfully challenges a dangerous contact charge for a hip drop on Gold Coast captain Tino Fa’asuamaleaui.

An early guilty plea will result in a $3,000 fine for Flegler, while Luai and Riki are facing fines of $1000-$1500 and Jolliffe will be out of pocket by $750-$1000, depending on their pleas.
