Paulo avoids ban for cannonball tackle, free for Origin

The Canberra Times

Referee Grant Atkins placed Paulo on report in the first half of the Raiders' 26-18 victory after the prop entered a tackle late and wiped out the legs of Canberra prop Joe Tapine.

Tapine hyperextended his knee and left the field for medical attention but managed to return in the second half.

On Sunday, the match review committee handed Paulo a grade-one dangerous contact charge that carries a $1800 fine with an early guilty plea.
