Reece Walsh escaped a ban; Pat Carrigan may miss the final due to suspension.

The Canberra Times

Reece Walsh has avoided a ban for his headbutt, but Brisbane captain Pat Carrigan will miss their preliminary final unless he overturns a suspension for a high tackle.

Walsh was on Monday handed two separate charges by the NRL following his wild role in Brisbane's 29-28 win over Canberra, but crucially neither of them will result in any time on the sideline.

The Broncos fullback is facing a fine of $3000 for a grade-one striking charge, after he was sin-binned for headbutting Hudson Young in Sunday's second half.
