Brisbane Broncos' Brendan Piakura escapes NRL ban for high shots

The Canberra Times

Brisbane forward Brendan Piakura has received fines from the NRL match review committee for all three charges he received in the 32-22 loss to Melbourne.

In a huge boost to the Broncos, but a confusing moment for Raiders fans, the 21-year-old will play in week one of the finals despite even his own coach expecting him to be banned.

Piakura was put on report for a careless high tackle on Storm winger Grant Anderson in the first half. He was then pinged for dangerous contact on livewire debutant Sua Fa'alogo in the second half before catching forward Alec Macdonald high.
