Bromwich not guilty at NRL judiciary

Jesse Bromwich is free to play this weekend after successfully challenging his dangerous throw charge at the NRL judiciary.

Bromwich would have escaped suspension had he pleaded guilty for the first-half tackle on St George Illawarra's Euan Aitken, but risks a one-match suspension by challenging it at the NRL judiciary. If Bromwich accepted the original charge, he would have taken 93 carry-over points as a result.

He is now free to play in Melbourne's clash with the Wests Tigers at AAMI Park on Sunday with no carry-over points to his name.

Meanwhile South Sydney backrower Paul Carter will miss the Rabbitohs' trip to Penrith on Friday night after he pleaded guilty to a dangerous contact charge on Parramatta's Corey Norman.

Manly's Matthew Wright can also escape suspension if he pleads guilty to a grade-two careless high tackle on William Zillman in the 79th minute of Monday night's 20-point loss to the Gold Coast.

Parramatta's Vai Toutai and the Warriors' Toafofoa Sipley will also avoid time on the sideline after they pleaded guilty to their respective high tackle and dangerous contact charges.
