Rugby League: O'Neill found guilty of high tackle

Wests Tigers forward Mark O'Neill was found guilty of a high tackle by the NRL judiciary last night over an incident which immediately preceded him being king-hit by Melbourne's Danny Williams.

O'Neill will not accrue enough penalty points to be suspended.

He was knocked out by Williams when the Storm player reacted angrily to the tackle during the second half of the Tigers-Storm game at Leichhardt Oval a fortnight ago.

Williams' hearing was postponed last week after he used a defence of post-traumatic amnesia, claiming he couldn't remember punching O'Neill.
