The NRL’s Match Review Committee has charged two NRL<\/a> stars out of their respective matches on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs<\/a> took on the Wests Tigers<\/a> while the Sydney Roosters<\/a> faced the Melbourne Storm<\/a> in Saturday night’s action during the Origin period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bulldogs forward Sitili Tupouniua<\/a> has been hit with a grade 1 shoulder charge, and given it is his second offence, the Tongan international will be fined $3000 on an early plea.<\/p>\n

If Tupouniua wants to fight the charge and lose at the judiciary panel, his charge will be bumped up to a two match suspension.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the later fixture, Sydney Roosters<\/a> forward Siua Wong<\/a> was booked with a grade 1 contrary conduct charge on Melbourne Storm<\/a> playmaker Cameron Munster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will see Wong fined $1800 at an early plea or bumped up to a $2500 fine if found guilty at the panel.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs face the Parramatta Eels<\/a> on June 8, meanwhile, the Roosters will travel to the nation’s capital to face the Canberra Raiders<\/a>.<\/p>\n
