NRL's match review charged Alex Twal, Kai Pearce-Paul, and Corey Horsburgh for dangerous contact in Round 10 games.
Zero Tackle
Wests Tigers forwards Alex Twal and Kai Pearce-Paul, as well as Canberra Raiders middle forward Corey Horsburgh, have all been charged with offences by the NRL's match review committee after Sunday's games during Round 10.
In the earlier game, which saw the Melbourne Storm break their seven-match losing streak with an emphatic win over the Tigers, Twal was placed on report for dangerous contact during the first half, and Pearce-Paul for the same offence during the second half.
Twal's offence came against Melbourne lock Trent Loiero, while Pearce-Paul was charged for an offence against Will Warbrick.
As both players currently have clean judiciary records, they are eligible for $1000 fines each with an early guilty plea, or $1500 if they fight and lose.

'Four games in 18 days': Ricky calls out draw as bye comes at 'good time' for Raiders
Canberra Raiders' coach Ricky Stuart criticized the team's tough schedule of four matches in 18 days after their recent loss.
Fox League
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has once again taken aim at the club's draw, which saw them play four matches within 18 days.
Defeated by the Penrith Panthers on Sunday, Stuart is looking forward to enjoying the bye next week following a cluster of games in a limited time period.
But that didn't stop him from pointing out the club's draw to begin this year's campaign when asked by a reporter about what needs to happen over the next seven days, in which they won't be preparing for a game and will instead be allowed to relax.
"As I keep saying, those four games in the 18 days and then bouncing into that game last week, where we were really disruptive with injuries. That helped us mentally," Stuart said post-match.
"I think we got up physically tonight because we got the win last week and your week changes after a win.

Canberra Raiders star Simi Sasagi opens up on engagement, family, chasing NRL dream
Canberra's Simi Sasagi hid an engagement ring in his shoe collection, anxious about his girlfriend's cleaning habits before proposing.
The Australian
For months, Canberra cult hero Simi Sasagi was terrified his girlfriend Kate would have an impulsive urge to spring clean their home.
Hiding in a shoebox in the back of his closet was a secret Sasagi had been keeping since January.
"I knew she wouldn't look - well, I was hoping she wouldn't - in any of the shoe boxes," Sasagi laughed.
"I had bought her engagement ring in January, I have a bit of a shoe collection, so I just hid it in the sole of a pair of shoes."
He was waiting for a good time to propose. When her family would be there, too.
