Braydon Trindall is cleared to play, boosting the Cronulla Sharks for their crucial elimination final against the Cowboys.

Zero Tackle

The Cronulla Sharks are set for a major finals boost, with Braydon Trindall to be cleared for their elimination final on Saturday evening at Allianz Stadium.

The star half has been missing for the last couple of weeks, with the wheels falling off for the Sharks in his absence.

Cronulla, at one stage seemingly a lock to finish in the top four, bounced their way out of contention for a second bite at the cherry in September, instead finishing fifth where they will now host the North Queensland Cowboys this weekend in a do-or-die contest.

Trindall first struggled, but played through injury during a horror loss to wooden spooners the St George Illawarra Dragons, before dislocating his shoulder against the Canberra Raiders in a loss the following week.

Reuben Cotter will contest a high tackle charge at the NRL judiciary after being sin-binned in a recent match.

Zero Tackle

North Queensland Cowboys forward Reuben Cotter has confirmed he will challenge a high tackle charge at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday morning.

Cotter was slapped with a Grade 2 careless high tackle charge by the NRL's match review committee on Sunday morning for a shot early in Saturday's surprise loss to the Canberra Raiders at home.

The charge over the tackle that was sin binned - a first on Cotter's judiciary record - is set to see him suspended for one game with an early guilty plea, or face a second game if he fails at the judiciary.

Instead of simply pushing for a downgrade, Cotter has pled not guilty entirely to the tackle, despite it being deemed bad enough to be a sin bin offence on field.
