Sydney Roosters hardman Jared Waerea-Hargreaves will be eligible to play this weekend despite being charged with a high tackle by the NRL judiciary.

Waerea-Hargreaves was hit with a grade 1 careless high tackle charge for his hit on Mike Cooper in the Roosters’ win over St George Illawarra on Saturday.

The charge carries 95 points with an early guilty plea meaning he will be free to take on the Gold Coast at Allianz Stadium on Monday night.

Waerea-Hargreaves has been suspended six times since 2011 and his charge carried an extra 50 per cent loading for a similar prior offence and another 20 per cent loading for a non-similar prior offence.

Earlier in the year he missed one week for a high shot on Manly’s Glenn Stewart.

Canberra’s Josh Papalii, Parramatta’s Junior Paulo and Manly’s Jesse Sene-Lefao will also be free to play with an early guilty plea to their respective dangerous contact charges.
