NRL Judiciary Report: Kennedy banned; Seven fined

Sharks fullback Will Kennedy has accepted a one-match suspension for contact with referee Adam Gee during Friday night's 58-6 defeat of Wests Tigers.

Kennedy sent Gee tumbling when he ran into him from behind in the 13th minute of the match at PointsBet Stadium.

The fullback has entered an early guilty plea after being hit with a Grade 2 Contrary Conduct charge. With the bye this weekend, Kennedy will miss Cronulla's Round 21 clash with the Cowboys. 

"After considering the options and receiving advice over the weekend and earlier today, the Sharks and Kennedy reluctantly accepted the suspension," the team said in a statement. 

Cronulla prop Tom Hazelton has also pleaded guilty to a Grade 1 Crusher Tacke charge on Wests Tigers forward Fonua Pole in the 29th minute and will pay a $1500 fine.

Manly forward Haumole Olakau'atu has avoided a two-game suspension for a shoulder charge by taking an early guilty plea following his side's 44-6 win over the Knights. 

Olakau'atu was hit with a Grade One charge for the hit on Mat Croker in the 33rd minute and will pay a $3000 fine. 

Newcastle's Jackson Hastings has been fined $1800 after entering an early guilty plea to a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact charge for a tackle on Reuben Garrick on Sunday.

Meanwhile Gold Coast Titans duo Chris Randall and AJ Brimson have pleaded guilty to Grade 1 Dangerous Contact charges and will each pay a fine. 

Broncos forward Brendan Piakura will also pay an $1800 fine after taking the early guilty plea for the same charge for a late hit on Dragons halfback Jesse Marschke while St George Illawarra's Francis Molo pleaded guilty to a Grade 1 Contrary Conduct charge for a hair pull on Martin Taupau in the Dragons' win over Brisbane.
