Sharks duo Kennedy and Ramien suspended after early guilty pleas

Rabbitohs winger Leon Te Hau faces a two-match ban after he was charged with a Dangerous Throw following Friday's Pre-Season Challenge clash against Manly.

Te Hau was sin binned in the 68th minute of the clash in Gosford after a lifting tackle on Sea Eagles centre Fletcher Myers.

The Rabbitohs youngster faces a two-game ban with an early guilty plea increasing to three games if he fights the charge and loses.

Kangaroos second-rower Angus Crichton is free to play for Sydney Roosters in the opening round against the Dolphins after being permitted to serve his World Cup suspension in the pre-season.

Crichton received a two-match ban for striking Toa Samoa hooker Chanel Harris-Tavita with his elbow in the World Cup final at Old Trafford but the suspension was halved on appeal.

He will avoid missing a premiership match by serving the one match ban in the opening round of the NRL Pre-season Challenge against the Storm in Geelong on February 12.

Players suspended in the NRL are required to serve their bans in premiership fixtures, with Ryan Matterson (Eels), Francis Molo (Dragons), Mat Croker (Knights), Taane Milne (Rabbitohs) and Brian Kelly (Titans) set to miss the start of the season. 

A final decision on Molo's suspension remains unclear after the Dragons entered a submission to have World Cup games count towards his suspension before Christmas.

However, Crichton's ban falls under the jurisdiction of the International Rugby League, which permits pre-season matches to be included.

A clause in the NRL judiciary code allows for the disciplinary policy of the body which handed down the suspension to be applied and Crichton has been cleared to serve his ban during the new pre-season competition.
