The former Titan was charged with Grade 2 Dangerous Contact – Unnecessary Head/Neck Pressure during their trial match against Gold Coast last Sunday and will be available for selection in Round 2 for their first home game of the year against St George Illawarra at Eden Park.

Peyroux is free to participate in the Auckland Nines this weekend, as well as the Warriors’ trial against Brisbane in Dunedin, NZ on February 23.
