Queensland representative forwards Patrick Carrigan and Reuben Cotter have both been found not guilty at the NRL judiciary after contesting high tackle charges. Brisbane Broncos forward Carrigan and North Queensland Cowboys counterpart Cotter were both slapped with Grade 1 charges from Round 23 for high shots on Jack Bostock and Jayden Campbell respectively. The duo were both only facing minor fines that would have been upgraded had they lost, but decided to face the judiciary believing there was enough evidence to overturn the decisions, which there was. The two hearings were completed in a combined time of just over two hours on Tuesday evening. Both players, in contesting and being successful at the judiciary, keep their charge sheets in tact and will face lower penalties should they slip up again over the closing weeks of the season.
