Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has been cleared for his high shot on Kiwis teammate James Fisher-Harris.

Waerea-Hargreaves is facing a fine for verbal abuse directed towards referee Gerard Sutton.

He was charged with grade one contrary conduct after he was sent to the sin-bin in the 69th minute for using foul language after the Panthers were awarded an eight-point try for the incident.
