yep
after all, it is the contact with the head that is the "danger" of the shoulder charge

You mean the one on Burgess? The Pommie hard men from the past would be laughing their heads off.
Not sure. What's a grade 4 run and hug someone worth these days?
The hard men of the game past that isn't NRL were all trying to knock each other's heads off . . . I remember, in the late 60's I think, watching Cliff Watson show Pogo Morgan the right way to kiss in Liverpool
Hopefully however many it is the entire Raiders side gets the same for their disgraceful display on Saturday v Newcastle.
Three Storm players charged after Bulldogs clash

Storm trio Will Chambers, Cameron Munster and Cheyse Blair have all been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee after their side's 12-6 win over the Bulldogs at Belmore.
Chambers has been charged with grade one contrary conduct for his role in starting a melee. This charge carries a $1,500 fine, reduced to $1,100 with an early guilty plea.
Munster has been charged with grade one tripping, a charge that also incurs a $1,500 fine under the new judiciary system. Munster can also have his fine reduced to $1,100 with an early guilty plea.
Blair was charged with a grade one dangerous throw for a lifting tackle on Bulldogs five-eighth Josh Reynolds in the 69th minute of the match. The base penalty for this charge is 100 points, but Blair has a 20 per cent loading for a prior non-similar offence in the past two years, taking his total points to 120. This can be reduced to 90 points with an early guilty plea meaning Blair would not miss a match.
An early guilty plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent.
A player receives a one game ban for every 100 points they accrue. Blair's points will be reduced by five points per match, provided he does not receive further charges.

Raiders forward faces one-game ban

Canberra forward Clay Priest, Raiders teammate Joey Leilua and Roosters forward Mitchell Aubusson have all been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following their Round 1 Telstra Premiership matches.
Priest has been charged with grade one dangerous contact to the head/neck, and as he has a prior similar offence in the past two years has incurred a further 50 per cent loading. This means the base charge of 100 points increases to 150 points, so even with an early guilty plea the points would only reduce to 112.
This means Priest would miss one match (100 points).
Leilua has been charged with grade one contrary conduct in the Raiders' clash with the Cowboys on Saturday night. This charge carries a fine of $1,500 but Leilua has a prior non-similar offence in the past two years, increasing the fine to $1,800. Leilua can take an early guilty plea and pay a $1,350 fine.
Roosters forward Aubusson has been charged with a grade one dangerous throw on Titans co-captain Ryan James, which has a base penalty of 100 points. Aubusson can take an early guilty plea to reduce his penalty to 75 points and hence not miss a match.
