Mason escapes NRL ban despite charge
Monday, March 20, 2006 - 3:32 PM
Bulldogs forward Willie Mason is free to play in Friday night's blockbuster NRL clash against Newcastle despite being charged by the match review committee.
Mason was charged with a grade one careless high tackle for his hit on Wests Tigers winger Jamaal Lolesi last Friday night.
The Test second-rower doesn't accrue enough points to be rubbed out for a match whether he pleads guilty or fights the charge and loses.
Tigers prop Bryce Gibbs received a grade one striking charge for dropping a forearm on Bulldogs forward Mark O'Meley and faces a one-match ban.
The Tigers have already indicated Gibbs won't play against the New Zealand Warriors this weekend after suffering concussion during the match.
Manly prop Kylie Leuluai received a grade one contrary conduct charge for a kneeing incident in his side's loss to North Queensland and faces a two-week ban.
Newcastle utility Anthony Quinn was charged with a grade one dangerous throw and faces two weeks on the sidelines.
Penrith back rower Luke Swain will escape suspension with an early guilty plea to a grade one dangerous throw charge, while teammate Frank Puletua will miss one match unless he successfully defends a grade two careless high tackle charge.
