Sharks star escapes suspension after major finals upset

Raiders upset Sharks in finals; Toby Rudolf charged with a high tackle, fined $1000.

Zero Tackle

Saturday night's clash between the Canberra Raiders and Cronulla Sharks produced the biggest upset of the 2025 season so far, with the minor premiers being bounced out of the finals in straight sets.

The match was a fiery one, with multiple players being pulled up by officials throughout the game.

Sharks prop Toby Rudolf was the likeliest to be suspended; however, it has been revealed that he will be free to play in his side's preliminary final against the Melbourne Storm next week.

Rudolf has been charged with a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle and will be fined $1000. Should he dispute the penalty and fail, his fine will be increased to $1500.
