Broncos to fight Thaiday charge

The Brisbane Broncos will fight the charge levelled at Sam Thaiday out of last week’s match against the Melbourne Storm.

Thaiday was charged with grade one contrary conduct for grabbing the thumb of Kiwi international prop Jessie Bromwich.

He was hit with a $1550 fine for an early guilty plea.

However the Broncos will contest the charge at the judiciary tomorrow night, with the risk a $2100 fine if Thaiday is found guilty.

Thaiday will officially plead not guilty to the NRL this morning.
