NRL judiciary

Koroisau, Watene-Zelezniak found guilty, suspended

In rare circumstances, Penrith opted to have Cleary represent Koroisau on Tuesday night instead of a leading barrister.

While Titans head of performance and culture Mal Meninga unsuccessfully defended David Fifita earlier this season, Cleary became the first coach to act as a lawyer for some time.

Cleary started out by stressing that he meant "no disrespect to the [legal] fraternity" and was assured by judiciary chairman Geoff Bellew that he was entitled to represent his player.

Wade Graham guilty at NRL judiciary

Graham opted to challenge his potential ban at the NRL judiciary in an attempt to play in next Wednesday's crucial second State of Origin match in Brisbane, but after a lengthy hearing in Sydney, the jury found Graham guilty.

"Obviously I'm very disappointed that I miss out on the game. There are not really words to describe how disappointing it is," Graham said.

"I though we went in there and put forward a good argument, and I thought it was a fair case. Unfortunately the decision didn't go my way tonight.

Judiciary: Pritchard, Blair charged

Pritchard was charged with a grade two careless high tackle on William Zillman during the Eels' win over the Titans, while Blair was charged with making dangerous contact on Roosters forward Mitchell Aubusson.

Both players can escape bans with early guilty pleas.

Earlier, Rabbitohs prop Nathan Brown was charged for a challenge on Wests Tigers five-eighth Mitch Moses late in the Tigers' Friday night win over South Sydney.

McKendry cops two, Napa to challenge

Penrith's Sam McKendry will miss two matches after pleading guilty to a shoulder charge, while Roosters prop Dylan Napa will challenge his careless high tackle charge at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday.

McKendry will miss the Panthers' upcoming matches against Manly and South Sydney over the hit on Melbourne's Cameron Munster late in the Panthers' loss to the Storm on Saturday night.

Raiders duo Shannon Boyd and Jack Wighton are also suspended this week after pleading guilty to a shoulder charge and making contact with an official respectively.

Four to front judiciary on Wednesday

Klemmer (contact with match official), Matulino (shoulder charge), Leilua (contrary conduct) and Scott (dangerous contact with head/neck) will all challenge their charges after pleading not guilty.

Leilua will be suspended nevertheless after entering a guilty plea to a dangerous throw charge, which will rule him out for two matches.

Jacob Lillyman (careless high tackle), James Roberts (contact with a match official), Dylan Napa (careless high tackle) and Marika Koroibete (dangerous throw) will all escape bans after entering early guilty pleas.
