Kade Snowden will miss his club’s next two games after accepting two high-tackle charges.
Newcastle Knights front-rower Kade Snowden will be sidelined for two-weeks after taking the early guilty plea for two high tackle charges during Sunday’s match against the Wests Tigers.
Snowden was charged with a grade two high tackle against Curtis Sironen and a grade one high tackle on Bodene Thompson.
The club risked a three-game suspension if he challenged the charges at the judiciary and was found guilty.
It means the 27-year-old will now miss the Knights’ clashes against the Sydney Roosters and North Queensland Cowboys, and will return for the round 16 match against the Parramatta Eels.
In other NRL judiciary news, Canberra prop Paul Vaughan has accepted a one-match ban for a crusher tackle on Todd Lowrie during the Raiders’ 24-8 loss to Brisbane on Monday.
