Fa'aoso to challenge NRL charge grading March 26, 2013 - 2:04PM Manly prop Richie Fa'aoso will contest the grading of his dangerous contact charge at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday night in a bid to reduce his suspension from four weeks to just one. Fa'aoso is facing a four-week ban for his late shoulder charge, which resulted in Gold Coast back-rower Ashley Harrison being carried from the field in a neck brace on Saturday night. He was slapped with a grade-three dangerous contact charge as a result of the hit, and could have accepted a three-week ban with an early guilty plea. But the Sea Eagles will roll the dice at Rugby League Central, where it is believed they will argue the damage to Harrison was caused by accidental contact with Fa'aoso's head rather than as a result of the shoulder charge. Should Fa'aoso, who hit Harrison from behind after he had passed the ball, successfully have his charge downgraded to a grade two, he will receive only a 250-point penalty. After taking the early guilty plea into account, that would reduce his ban to just one match, while a downgrade to a grade one would allow Fa'aoso to play against Wests Tigers on Thursday night. Harrison, who was playing his 250th game at Skilled Park, is keen to run out against Penrith on Sunday, though a final decision rests with Titans medical officials as a result of his concussion. Fa'aoso's Manly teammate Brent Kite, Brisbane's Matt Gillett and Cronulla prop Ben Ross all accepted early guilty pleas on Tuesday and will be free to play this weekend. Kite was charged after placing unnecessary head/neck pressure on Titans co-captain Nate Myles, Ross was charged with running with a raised knee and Gillett escaped a ban despite pleading guilty to a grade-one careless high tackle on Sydney Roosters five-eighth James Maloney.
