The NRL's match review committee have confirmed five charges against players from Sunday's Round 21 matches, with all escaping suspension.

Two charges came out of the early game as the Canberra Raiders beat the Newcastle Knights, while the other three were all out of the later game as the Canterbury Bulldogs handed out a sizeable beatdown to the Manly Sea Eagles.

Starling was placed on report for a late shot against Newcastle halfback Jack Cogger.

The Grade 1 dangerous contact charge is a second offence on his record and will see him pay $1800 with an early guilty plea, or $2500 if he is found guilty at panel.

Still without a contract for the 2026 NRL season after the Knights declined the option in his deal to extend his services, Gagai's future remains clouded in uncertainty.

Entering the final stages of his career, Gagai showed on the weekend against the Canberra Raiders that he still has what it takes to play in the NRL.
