Broncos player Patrick Carrigan is reported following a “crusher” tackle on Melbourne Storm forward James Fisher-Harris, according to multiple reports. The incident leaves Carrigan to wait for the outcome of the NRL’s match-review process, with the reports indicating he will face potential disciplinary action depending on the assessment of the tackle.
All outlets describe the same core event: Carrigan’s tackle on Fisher-Harris is classified as a crusher, prompting the report. However, the articles do not provide further details on the match context, whether the tackle caused injury, or what specific charge or grading is proposed at this stage.
The reporting is consistent across the three sources, focusing on Carrigan’s immediate situation—an anxious period while the NRL considers the report and determines next steps, which could include a reprimand, suspension, or clearance based on league review and any factors taken into account.
