Sam Thaiday charged with dangerous throw
BRISBANE second rower Sam Thaiday is in serious danger of missing the opening weekend of the NRL finals.
The Broncos Test forward has been slapped with a grade two dangerous throw by the NRL match review committee.
Thaiday will miss a minimum of two weeks unless he beats the charge at the judiciary.
The Queensland and Australian second rower was charged following a lifting tackle on Manly forward Brent Kite in the second half of yesterdays game at Suncorp Stadium.
Even with an early guilty plea, Thaiday will be suspended for two weeks. That means his only hope of playing is to contest the charge, although that could mean he misses three matches if found guilty.
The Broncos, who open the finals against the Warriors on Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium, are certain to be without fullback Josh Hoffman. Hoffman suffered a knee injury in the first half of the win over the Sea Eagles.
