Round 3 charges: Twal found guilty, cops fine

Wests Tigers forward Alex Twal has been found guilty of a grade 1 contrary conduct charge on Knights rookie Dominic Young and received a $2,550 fine.

Twal was issued with a grade one contrary conduct charge following a review of Sunday's matches and would have been fined $1900 had he entered an early guilty plea.

Dragons centre Jack Bird has accepted a one-match suspension for a contrary conduct charge, one of four players banned for incidents in round three.

The Dragons announced that Bird had entered an early guilty plea. If he had challenged the charge at the judiciary and lost he would have missed two matches.

The incident in question was a clash with Manly centre Moses Suli at WIN Stadium on Friday night.

Sharks forward Briton Nikora has accepted a two-match ban after he was found to have used a shoulder charge on Eels fullback Clint Gutherson at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday. He would have been out for three weeks if he unsuccessfully challenged the charge.

Bulldogs captain Josh Jackson will be out this weekend after being charged over a crusher tackle on Alex Glenn in his side's 24-0 loss to Brisbane.

He faced a two-game suspension if he did not enter an early guilty plea.

Roosters forward Daniel Suluka-Fifita also halved his two-week suspension by entering an early guilty plea. He was charged with striking after punching South Sydney forward Jai Arrow.

Bulldogs forward Renouf Antoni and Panthers centre Stephen Crichton were fined for dangerous contact. Roosters hooker Freddy Lussick was also fined for a contrary conduct offence.
