Melbourne<\/a> winger Moses Leo could be set for a stint on the sidelines after he was sin binned for a high shot in his side\u2019s 46-20 win<\/a> against Brisbane<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Coming out of his own end, Brisbane\u2019s Jordan Riki was being tackled from behind by Tyran Wishart before Leo came in and didn\u2019t attempt to wrap. <\/p>\n

Moses Leo hits Jordan Riki high.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

The winger connected with the head of Riki and his departure was inevitable with the sin bin call following. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was direct and high, there\u2019s no doubt about that,\u201d Cameron Smith said on Nine. <\/p>\n

Leo apologised after the incident as he ran off, but his remorse is unlikely to help him with the match review committee, with at least a sanction on the way. Riki had to leave the field for an HIA. <\/p>\n

Leo\u2019s high shot came in the 49th minute when Melbourne was leading 30-10. <\/p>\n

A try to Brisbane followed moments later through Ben Hunt to make it 30-14 with the conversion missed.<\/p>\n

Hunt\u2019s effort then brought about the first time a side had opted to receive the kick-off after conceding a try. <\/p>\n

With nothing on the line, the match between Brisbane and Melbourne was being used as a trial for the new rule.<\/p>\n

Seven tries came before Hunt\u2019s with no side opting to receive until Melbourne reversed the trend.<\/p>\n

Leo\u2019s departure only cost the Storm four points with two tries coming when he returned. <\/p>\n

Sualauvi Faalogo grabbed one while Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown scored his second of the night. <\/p>\n

Ezra Mam crossed for his second in the 74th minute before Riki returned from the HIA test. <\/p>\n

The final points came when Tuimalatu-Brown grabbed a Jahrome Hughes cross-kick out of the air and put the ball down for a hat-trick. <\/p>\n

The 66 points meant Smith had fallen just short of a 70 points prediction earlier in the match when Nick Meaney made it 12-4 in the 23rd minute. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Melbourne winger Moses Leo could be set for a stint on the sidelines after he was sin binned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-870288","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\/870288","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=870288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
