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