Rabbitohs forward suspended for crusher tackle

Rabbitohs forward Lachlan Hubner has been suspended for two matches due to a crusher tackle on Dragons player Clint Gutherson. The tackle was not penalized during the game, but Hubner received a Grade 2 charge from the NRL judiciary. Broncos hooker Cory Paix avoided suspension for a dangerous throw on Raiders player Tom Starling. He was fined $1,000 for the Grade 1 offense. Hubner's suspension marks him as the third player from Round 2 to face bans, joining Knights player Kai Pearce-Paul and Roosters player Salesi Foketi.
