Canterbury half Lachlan Lewis has avoided an NRL suspension for his bizarre halftime tackle of Cody Walker.
The off-contract playmaker can accept a $1600 fine with an early guilty plea after he was sin-binned and reported for contrary conduct as the players were heading to the sheds.
Teammate Dylan Napa (high tackle), Wests Tigers Mikaele Thomas (high tackle) and Penrith hooker Api Koroisau (dangerous contact) can also accept fines after they were placed on report in Sunday s action.

When Sharks centre Jesse Ramien raced away to score at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday from a pass that was clearly forward, the debate was sparked again as to whether the NRL Bunker should be able to rule on such incidents.
Touch judges and referees will make errors on occasions just as players make errors, but could technology be used in such instances to rule on a blatant forward pass and ensure the right decision is reached more often?
Or should the system be left the way it is because camera angles can vary and the touchie is often in line with the ball and in best position to make a call?
