We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
In a blow to the Canberra Raiders, Sebastian Kris has been hit with a grade three dangerous throw charge by the NRL Match Committee following their recent loss to the Sharks.
The incident occurred in the 60th minute of the match, leading to Kris being sent off.
According to raiders.com.au, the young player has chosen to take the early guilty plea, resulting in a suspension of five matches.
This setback will undoubtedly impact the Raiders' lineup and strategic planning for the upcoming games.
The Sydney Roosters players are confident that their recent strong performance will have their finals rivals looking over their shoulders.
The team has managed to win five consecutive matches, including a 26-12 triumph over the Rabbitohs which ended their season.
To secure a finals berth, the Roosters only need either the Cowboys or Raiders to lose.
If they do make it to the finals, they will face either the Knights or Sharks next weekend.
Sebastian Kris will play no part in Canberra's finals campaign after being slapped with a five-game ban following his send off for a spear tackle on Sione Katoa during the Raiders' 24-6 loss to the Sharks.
The incident in the 60th minute was deemed a grade three dangerous throw by the NRL match review committee on Monday.
If he enters an early guilty plea, Kris will be suspended for five matches. However, if he fights the charge unsuccessfully, he will cop a six match ban. Either scenario will likely put him out for the first month of next season.
