Three Sharks escape bans, accept fines

Sharks Blayke Brailey, Braden Hamlin-Uele and Ronaldo Mulitalo have escaped suspension but will be forced to pay fines following charges levelled against them by the NRL match review committee.

The trio accepted the early guilty pleas on the range of charges stemming from incidents in the game against the Broncos on Saturday night, with all free to play the Melbourne Storm on Sunday afternoon.

Mulitalo was charged with a grade one crusher tackle on Katoni Staggs in the 18th minute of the match, Hamlin-Uele the same charge for an incident involving Brisbane hooker Billy Walters in the 33rd minute, and Brailey with grade one dangerous contact for a tackle on Reece Walsh two minutes before the half time break.

With their charges being first offences, Mulitalo was issued a $1,000 fine and Brailey a $750 penalty, while being the second offence for Hamlin-Uele the fine was $3,000.

Had Hamlin-Uele challenged and failed to have the charges dismissed at a judiciary hearing he stood to miss two games.

The Sharks next assignment is a game against the Storm at AAMI Park on Sunday, with the three players now available for selection as the Cronulla team looks to bounce back after a disappointing loss to the Broncos.
