Melbourne Storm enforcer hit with grade-three high tackle chargeKiwi gets unlikely backing from Roosters players
Nelson Asofa-Solomona will require a minor miracle to play in the NRL grand final, after the Melbourne enforcer was hit with a grade-three high tackle charge. Asofa-Solomona received the worst possible news on Saturday morning when told he was facing a four-match ban even with an early guilty plea.
It means for Asofa-Solomona to play in next Sunday’s grand final, he will need to front the judiciary and get his charge downgraded to a grade-one and a fine. If he fights the case and is unsuccessful, the suspension will extend to five matches and go beyond New Zealand’s Pacific Championships campaign and into next season.
