EXCLUSIVE:Carrigan To Face Nervous Wait After High Shot The Star Forward Was Placed On Report In The 12th Minute.

Nervous wait ahead for Carrigan following high shot In the twelfth minute, the star forward was placed on report.

Patrick Carrigan, a star player for the Queensland Maroons State of Origin and Brisbane Broncos, was placed on report during Sunday afternoon’s game against the Gold Coast Titans. He will now have to wait anxiously for the Match Review Committee.

The incident occurred in the game’s twelfth minute, when Carrigan tripped and tackled Titans prop Josiah Pahulu.

After running the ball up the middle, Pahulu was tackled low by Brisbane prop Corey Jensen, and Carrigan’s arm came into direct contact with Pahulu’s head.

After a brief stoppage, referee Peter Gough placed him on report after speaking with bunker official Kasey Badger. Carrigan will only be required to pay a fine if he avoids a Grade 1 offense; however, if the grade increases to a 2 or 3, a thoughtless high tackle will result in suspension, barring him from appealing the decision at the NRL judiciary.

With players like Thomas Flegler, Tom Gilbert, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, and Corey Horsburgh unavailable for selection in the series opener, the Queensland Maroons, who have already lost numerous middle third forwards due to injury, would suffer a severe hit if Carrigan were to miss any games.
