Props Jerry SeuSeu and Richard Villasanti will be available for the New Zealand Warriors this weekend after entering early guilty pleas to the National Rugby League judiciary today.
SeuSeu faced a striking charge and Villasanti one of a careless high tackle from the 20-14 win over the Melbourne Storm at Ericsson
Stadium on Sunday.
The early pleas meant the players did not accumulate enough points to be banned.
The Warriors are away to North Queensland on Saturday night and Cowboy Nathan Fien also escaped suspension after entering his own early guilty plea.
Halfback Fien had been charged with a careless high tackle in the win over Parramatta last weekend.
Meanwhile, Parramatta and Kiwis skipper Nathan Cayless was banned for a total of eight matches after making early guilty pleas to two separate charges arising from the same match.
Cayless got a five-match sentence for a first-half reckless high tackle on centre Josh Hannay, who was taken to hospital but later cleared of a serious neck injury.
He also got three weeks on a striking charge arising from a second-half incident involving opposition skipper Travis Norton.
Cayless had faced 11 weeks on the sidelines if he contested the two counts.
The prop was going to be out of action for several weeks anyway, having suffered a broken arm in the hit on Hannay.
