David Fifita of the Rabbitohs is suspended for two games after a dangerous contact charge from a recent match.
David Fifita, the second-rower for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, will be sidelined for two games following a verdict from the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night.
Fifita appeared before the judiciary with hopes of having a Grade 2 dangerous contact charge reduced.
This charge stemmed from an incident during Saturday's unexpected defeat to the Canberra Raiders, where Fifita, after running the ball, kicked his leg and foot into Hudson Young's head as he was getting up from the ground.
The action resulted in contact with the side of Young's face, but surprisingly, no penalty was awarded despite the Raiders' immediate objections.
