The Melbourne Storm defeated the Brisbane Broncos, with three charges confirmed but no player suspensions for Brisbane.
The NRL's match review committee have confirmed three charges from Thursday night's big win for the Melbourne Storm over the Brisbane Broncos as the latest rule experiment was put to the test.
The rule, which allowed teams conceding a try to decide whether they would receive the kick-off or kick-off themselves, wasn't used by either captain until the second half in an affair that was dominated by other headlines, including Brisbane's botched Adam Reynolds apology, and the Storm's big win as Brisbane limp towards the conclusion of a miserable season.
The Broncos, who had picked up a win over the Raiders in Canberra the week before, always looked on the back foot against Melbourne, but at least won't lose any players for next weekend, with the MRC slapping Aublix Tawha with a Grade 1 dangerous contact charge for an offence against Cameron Munster in the 59th minute of the game.
He will face a $1000 fine with an early guilty plea, or risk an extra $500 if he proceeds to the judiciary to fight his charge.
