South Sydney Rabbitohs forward Davvy Moale has been charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact offence following the Round 7 Good Friday clash against the Canterbury Bulldogs. The incident occurred during the first half of the match, where Moale made contact with Bulldogs' second-rower Viliame Kikau. Although the tackle did not result in a sin bin or on-field penalty at the time, the NRL Match Review Committee later reviewed the play and issued the charge. As this is Moale's first offence, he faces a fine of $1,000 if he submits an early guilty plea. Should he choose to contest the charge and be found guilty at the judiciary, the fine could increase to $1,500. The Rabbitohs and Moale have until midday (AEDT) on Saturday to decide on their course of action. citeturn0search5 The match itself was a challenging one for the Rabbitohs, who suffered a 32-0 defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium. This loss marked a significant setback for South Sydney, as they struggled to find momentum throughout the game. The Bulldogs' dominant performance highlighted areas of concern for the Rabbitohs, particularly in their defensive strategies and discipline on the field. Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett expressed confusion and concern over the consistency of officiating, especially regarding high-contact tackles. He pointed out that while some players were penalized or sin-binned for certain tackles, others, like Kikau's high shot on Campbell Graham, went unpunished during the game. Bennett's remarks underscore the ongoing debate about the enforcement of rules and the need for clarity in officiating decisions. In addition to Moale's charge, other players from the Good Friday matches faced disciplinary actions. Viliame Kikau received a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle charge for his hit on Graham and faces a fine between $1,800 and $2,500, depending on his plea. Melbourne Storm's Ryan Papenhuyzen and Tui Kamikamica were also charged with similar offences, each facing fines based on their prior records and decisions to contest the charges. As the NRL season progresses, the league continues to emphasize player safety and the importance of adhering to rules designed to protect athletes. The outcomes of these judiciary decisions will be closely watched, as they may set precedents for how similar incidents are handled in future matches. For the Rabbitohs, addressing these disciplinary issues will be crucial as they aim to regain their form and competitiveness in the upcoming rounds.
