Reuben Cotter appeals a grade two high tackle charge to play in finals; a downgrade could allow him to compete against Cronulla.
North Queensland have entered a plea of not guilty to the grade two careless high tackle charge hanging over co-captain Reuben Cotter as they head to the judiciary.
If successful on Tuesday night at the hearing, the lock forward will be free to play against Cronulla in the elimination final at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.
Cotter was charged by the Match Review Committee (MRC) for a high shot on Canberra prop Josh Papalii in the first hit-up of the 50-30 loss to the Raiders in Townsville on Saturday night.
