Round 1 charges: Sims suspended; Pangai to miss four matches

Dragons forward Tariq Sims will miss the round two meeting with the Panthers after accepting a one-match ban for a grade one dangerous contact charge on Tigers playmaker Josh Reynolds.

Sims' teammate Paul Vaughan also took an early plea for a dangerous contact charge but is free to face the Panthers with 75 carry-over points against his name.

Vaughan would've been suspended for a game if he had unsuccessfully challenged the charge at the judiciary.

Melbourne winger Suliasi Vunivalu has taken an early guilty plea for a contrary conduct charge and been fined $1600.

Panthers forward Jack Hetherington took an early guilty plea for a high tackle on Roosters fullback James Tedesco and was handed a two-match ban, while Sea Eagles forward Sean Keppie (dangerous throw) has avoided suspension by taking an early guilty plea.

Pangai jnr accepts four week ban

Broncos star Tevita Pangai jnr has accepted a four-match ban after being hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge from Friday night's win over the Cowboys.

With loading from one similar prior offence and two non-similar offences on his record, Pangai would have been outed for six weeks if found guilty at the judiciary over his tackle on Justin O'Neill.

Teammate Anthony Milford has escaped a ban after pleading guilty to a grade one dangerous contact charge.

In other charges coming from Saturday's matches, Sharks forward Jack Williams and Rabbitohs centre Braidon Burns avoided suspensions with early guilty pleas.

Ferguson charged for trip

Williams was hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge while Burns faced a grade one dangerous throw charge. 

Bulldogs fullback Dallin Watene-Zelezniak was one of three people charged by the match review committee following Thursday night's start to the season.

Canterbury winger Christian Crichton and Eels star Blake Ferguson were also charged but their offences only attracted fines.

All three are free to play this week after taking early guilty pleas.
