Nelson Asofa-Solomona is no certainty to play in the NRL grand final because of a high tackle – but his biggest rival on the field hopes he is cleared.
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves fell just short of reaching the NRL grand final – now he hopes suspension does not cruel the premiership dream of his front-row nemesis Nelson Asofa-Solomona.
But Asofa-Solomona risks becoming the fifth NRL player in the last 20 years to miss next Sunday’s decider because of suspension. The immediate concern for Asofa-Solomona is the match review committee, who on Saturday are likely to charge him with a grade-one careless high tackle offence, which carries a $3000 fine, or a grade-two careless high tackle, which is a three-match ban.Should Asofa-Solomona be charged with the latter, the Storm are expected to seek a downgrade at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night in the hope of having the charge reduced to a fine.
