Overview

• Reece Walsh received a grade-one striking charge for his headbutt and an $1,800 contrary conduct fine for gesturing to fans, leaving him free to play with a $3,000 penalty.
• Broncos captain Pat Carrigan was hit with a grade-two careless high-tackle charge and will miss the preliminary final unless he successfully contests it at the judiciary.
• Canberra’s Zac Hosking was fined $1,000 for grade-one dangerous contact after making contact with Walsh’s leg on a late field-goal attempt.
• Brisbane advanced 29-28 after 94 minutes on Ben Hunt’s golden-point field goal, following Walsh’s late surge that forced extra time.
• The NRL review of the crowd incident involving alleged abuse toward Walsh’s daughter remains a talking point, as Brisbane monitor Brendan Piakura’s suspected cheekbone fracture and Payne Haas’s ankle issue ahead of a home prelim at Suncorp against Canterbury or Penrith.
