Overview

• Willison received a grade-one dangerous contact charge for a low, late hit on Luke Garner and can accept a $1000 fine to play against Melbourne.
• He was penalised and placed on report during Brisbane’s 16-14 preliminary final win over Penrith.
• The decision tracks with recent precedent after Penrith’s Brad Schneider was fined $1000 for a similar incident a week earlier.
• Brisbane also regain captain Patrick Carrigan from suspension, setting up a full-strength middle rotation.
• Melbourne’s Trent Loiero was cited for grade-one dangerous contact and remains available with an early-plea fine.
