DANNY Walker is among six Super League players to be handed charges by the Match Review Panel as a result of the weekend's Round 26 matches.
Thankfully, however, the Warrington Wolves star will not be subject to a suspension.
The hooker has been charged with Grade B dangerous contact for a late hit on the passer during the second half of Saturday's 66-0 victory at Huddersfield Giants.
There is no penalty notice attached, with Walker's punishment for the charge being a £250 fine so he remains available for Friday's clash with London Broncos and beyond.
Huddersfield's Jack Billington has also been charged for the incident that saw him sin-binned during the second half following a high tackle on Josh Thewlis.
However, he too has escaped a suspension with his Grade B head contact charge carrying a £250 fine as punishment.
Two suspensions have been handed out, including a two-match penalty notice for Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella.
Should the Grade C head contact charge be accepted or upheld, the forward would miss the Robins' first play-off game, which would be against Warrington if The Wire finish third and progress through their eliminator tie.
The other player issued with a suspension is Catalans centre Arthur Romano, who has been hit with a one-match penalty notice for Grade B head contact
