Munster free to play after dangerous contact charge downgraded
Melbourne Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster avoids suspension after the NRL match review committee downgrades his dangerous contact charge from Saturday's win over Manly.
Melbourne Storm's Cameron Munster will not face a suspension after the NRL Match Review Committee downgraded his dangerous contact charge. Initially, the committee had given Munster a grade two charge for a low tackle on Manly's Taniela Paseka during their recent win. However, new information in the form of a medical report changed the classification to a grade one charge.
The Storm player has been given the opportunity to avoid suspension by paying a $750 fine for pleading guilty. The Melbourne Storm have a bye in the upcoming round, followed by a home game against the Penrith Panthers.
