Report:
Josh Hill (WB) was charged with a Level One bumping or making forceful contact from front-on offence against Andrew Mackie (Gee) in Q3. He can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
The incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one points), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
Yahoo! Sport carried the AAP report on Wednesday night that Hill had accepted guilt and the MRP penalty of a reprimand.
