Canberra prop David Shillington has escaped suspension for contrary conduct following an alleged headbutt of Wests Tigers opponent Aaron Woods on Monday night.
Shillington was sent-off in the final seconds of his team's 20-18 loss to the Wests Tigers after appearing to headbutt Woods.The former Queensland State of Origin prop received a grade one contrary conduct charge from the NRL's match review committee.
The Raiders took the early guilty plea resulting in Shillington escaping suspension and making him available for the match against Manly on Sunday.
His Raiders team-mate Joseph Leilua received a grade one shoulder charge for his hit on Kyle Lovett in the 61st minute of the match. The club opted to plead guilty and the centre will miss one match.
Three banned for shoulder charges
Matulino received a three-match ban for his hit on St George Illawarra five-eighth Gareth Widdop, while Mason was outed for two matches for a shoulder charge on South Sydney's Tom Burgess.
Following a rule change last week any player who commits a shoulder charge with force receives at least a one-match suspension.
The Rabbitohs' Glenn Stewart and Brisbane's Justin Hodges both accepted one-match bans for high tackle charges.
Melbourne Storm forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona will miss a week after pleading guilty to dangerous contact to the head or neck.
Sharks prop Sam Tagataese also pleaded guilty to dangerous contact and cops a one-match ban.
Jake Trbojevic of Manly, Lachlan Coote of North Queensland, Jeremy Smith of Newcastle and Mitchell Aubusson of the Sydney Roosters all escaped suspension with early guilty pleas.
