Storm star cops one-game ban for dangerous tackle
Cam Munster has been ruled out of next week because of this tackle.
The Knights secured a victory over the Raiders in Canberra, ending the Raiders' season with a 30-24 win. In the closing minutes, a penalty was awarded to the Raiders after a tangle between Dane Gagai and Corey Horsburgh. Instead of kicking for goals, Horsburgh slapped Gagai, leading to the penalty being overturned. Ricky Stuart was furious, calling the incident a "f***ing brain explosion."
The Raiders fans were disappointed as Gagai was not sin binned earlier in the half for a tip tackle on Horsburgh, which he was only placed on report for by referee Ashley Klein. St George Illawarra defeated Cronulla Sutherland's top-two finals hopes with a 24-16 win, providing a setback for the Sharks' finals hopes. The Dragons remain competitive to avoid the wooden spoon, with Addin Fonua-Blake potentially facing a ban after being sin binned and placed on report for a nasty shoulder charge on Dragons forward Hamish Stewart.
