However, two of The Wire's overseas contingent have picked up their first penalty points of 2025 having been hit with charges of their own. Palasia was yellow-carded by match referee Tom Grant following further examination of a tackle on Lachlan Fitzgibbon in which his shoulder appeared to make contact with the Wire back-rower's head. That reduced the Rhinos to 12 men for the remainder of Friday's game, with Jake Thewlis scoring Warrington's winning try almost immediately afterwards to seal a 16-14 victory.
Now, though, Palasia is not among the nine players charged following this week's Match Review Panel meeting, with the yellow card deemed sufficient punishment. The same cannot be said for Wolves full-back Matt Dufty and prop Paul Vaughan, both of whom feature on this week's charge sheet. Both have been issued with Grade A charges - Dufty for late contact on the passer and Vaughan for raising his knees into a tackle - and have a point each added to their penalty record.
Players reaching six penalty points receive a one-match suspension.
