North Queensland Cowboys centre Tom Chester is likely to have a case to answer for from his side’s 30-16 win over the Gold Coast after he was sin binned late in the match.
Titans star Jayden Campbell had broken the line and was looking for support as Chester came from his left, threw his arm out, and connected with the halfback’s jaw.
Referee Peter Gough immediately directed the Bunker to take its time with the process.

At one stage he was heard saying “tell me why you’re not thinking any more” before he sent Chester to the sin bin.

Campbell rose to his feet after the shot but had to go off for an HIA, which was ruled category two.
Steve “Blocker” Roach believes Chester will be fine.
“I think he’ll be all right, the way he sprung to his feet straight afterwards, it probably looked worse than what it was,” he said on Fox League.

Chester’s tackle came with just over four minutes remaining with the centre not returning as a result.
Titans hooker Sam Verrills will also be keeping an eye out for the match review committee’s findings.
Verrills was placed on report early in the second half for a high shot on Chester.
The result in Townsville means the Titans have started life under Josh Hannay with no wins from three matches.
In comparison, pressure has lifted slightly on Cowboys coach Todd Payten after the side’s first win of the season.
Murray Taulagi scored twice for the Cowboys with Jaxon Purdue scoring one and contributing two try assists.
For the Titans, Campbell returned from injury and scored twice in the first half.
