Sea Eagles prop Martin Taupau has narrowly avoided suspension for his high shot on Wests Tigers hooker Matt McIlwrick while Warriors front-rower Ben Matulino is looking at a week on the sidelines, with both forwards charged by the NRL match review committee.

Taupau was slapped with a grade one careless high tackle charge, which attracts a fine. Due to a poor recent record the former Tiger will be forced to pay $2,100 with an early guilty plea, up from the $1,500 base penalty for the charge.

Matulino was cited for a shoulder charge on Raiders forward Elliott Whitehead, and the grade one charge means Matulino will be suspended for a week with an early guilty plea or two weeks if he challenges the charge unsuccessfully at the NRL judiciary.
