Broncos<\/a> star Patrick Carrigan<\/a> found himself in hot water for a high tackle on Friday night and could draw draw the ire of the NRL match review committee.<\/p>\n

Patrick Carrigan’s high tackle on Zac Laybutt.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

There were no arguments coming from Carrigan or any of the commentators. <\/p>\n

“This is pretty clear, he got his target area all wrong,” Cameron Smith said. <\/p>\n

Kotoni Staggs opened the scoring at Suncorp Stadium after a deft grubber kick from replacement halfback, who was called into the side with Adam Reynolds injured.<\/p>\n

North Queensland then hit back after Scott Drinkwater made a break from deep inside his own half and linked up with Jaxon Purdue to race away and score.<\/p>\n

“Hasn’t this kid got some wheels on him” Thurston said. <\/p>\n

Purdue is fresh off signing a long-term $3 million contract extension<\/a> with the Cowboys, while the man who passed it to him in Drinkwater could be headed for an exit.<\/p>\n

Laybutt then put the Cowboys ahead as they took advantage of Brisbane being a man down with Carrigan in the sheds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broncos star Patrick Carrigan found himself in hot water for a high tackle on Friday night and could…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-598769","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\/598769","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=598769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
