Inglis, Te’o to front NRL Judiciary

South Sydney centre Greg Inglis and Brisbane’s Ben Te’o will front the NRL judiciary on Wednesday night to fight the gradings of charges while Penrith’s Travis Burns has had intentional high tackle charge hearing adjourned until next week.

Inglis has pleaded guilty to dangerous contact following his shoulder charge on St George Illawarra’s Dean Young on Saturday, but Souths will fight to downgrade the grade four ruling which would rub him out for four games.

Should the Queensland and Australia star lose, he will spend five weeks on the sidelines.

Te’o will front the judiciary panel for the second time this season after he was slugged with a grade two careless tackle charge for a challenge on Gold Coast prop Luke Bailey.

The back-rower was banned for two games earlier this year after being found guilty of dangerous contact on Wests Tigers prop Matt Groat.

Should he win, Te’o will not miss any game time for the Broncos, who face Parramatta on Monday.

The Broncos have decided not to challenge a dangerous contact charge levelled against fullback Josh Hoffman who will miss the Eels clash.

Meanwhile Burns and his legal team will get another week to work on their defence of a charge that if upheld would see the Panthers five-eighth rubbed out for 12 matches.

He will plead not guilty to the intentional high tackle charge but has submitted a notice of preparedness to plead to a lesser charge of a reckless high tackle for his challenge on the Roosters’ Martin Kennedy that led to him being sent off.

Burns will spend three weeks on the sidelines though, after he pleaded guilty to a grade two dangerous contact charge for his chicken wing tackle on Sydney Roosters’ Mose Masoe.
