North Queensland Cowboys<\/a> centre Tom Chester is likely to have a case to answer for from his side’s 30-16 win<\/a> over the Gold Coast<\/a> after he was sin binned late in the match.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Referee Peter Gough immediately directed the Bunker to take its time with the process.<\/p>\n

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

Tom Chester’s high tackle on Jayden Campbell.\u00a0Fox League<\/p>\n

Campbell rose to his feet after the shot but had to go off for an HIA, which was ruled category two.<\/p>\n

Steve “Blocker” Roach believes Chester will be fine. <\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

Chester’s tackle came with just over four minutes remaining with the centre not returning as a result.<\/p>\n

Titans hooker Sam Verrills will also be keeping an eye out for the match review committee’s findings.<\/p>\n

Verrills was placed on report early in the second half for a high shot on Chester.<\/p>\n

The result in Townsville means the Titans have started life under Josh Hannay with no wins from three matches.<\/p>\n

In comparison, pressure has lifted slightly on Cowboys coach Todd Payten after the side’s first win of the season.<\/p>\n

Murray Taulagi scored twice for the Cowboys with Jaxon Purdue scoring one and contributing two try assists.<\/p>\n

For the Titans, Campbell returned from injury and scored twice in the first half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"North Queensland Cowboys centre Tom Chester is likely to have a case to answer for from his side’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-557186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
