**Panthers Duo Charged by NRL Match Review Committee Following Round 25 Clash**

 

In a significant development following the Round 25 NRL fixture between the Penrith Panthers and the Canberra Raiders, Panthers players Mavrik Geyer and Trent Toelau have been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee.

 

Geyer faces a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact charge related to an incident involving Raiders player Simi Sasagi. This incident occurred in the 56th minute of the match. The Dangerous Contact charge suggests that Geyer’s tackle on Sasagi may have been deemed to have placed the Raiders player in a dangerous position, leading to the charge.

 

Meanwhile, Toelau has been charged with Grade 1 Contrary Conduct for an incident that took place in the 55th minute of the game. Contrary Conduct charges typically involve behavior that is deemed unsportsmanlike or contrary to the principles of fair play, although the specific details of Toelau’s actions have not been disclosed.

 

Both players now face potential disciplinary action, which could impact their availability for future matches. The charges will be reviewed by the NRL judiciary, which will determine the appropriate penalties based on the severity of the incidents and any prior offenses.
