Warriors forward Zyon Maiu’u has had his dangerous tackle charge downgraded at the NRL judiciary.<\/p>\n
Maiu’u was sent off mid-way through the first half of their pre-season game against West Tigers in Christchurch on Sunday for a high shot on Tigers centre Declan Casey.<\/p>\n
Casey spent ten minutes on the ground before being taken off on a strethcer.<\/p>\n
The Warriors decided not to take an early gulity plea and faced losing the prop for four games.<\/p>\n
Maiu’u was found guilty at the judiciary but was successful in having a Grade 2 Reckless High Tackle charge downgraded to a Grade 3 Careless High Tackle, resulting in a two-game ban.<\/p>\n
The 21 year old Maiu’u played for the Warriors reserves last year and is yet to make his NRL debut.<\/p>\n
He won’t be available for their opening two games against the Sharks and the Storm.<\/p>\n
