The Brisbane Broncos will take the early guilty plea on Adam Blair’s dangerous contact charge today.
Blair was cited out of last Friday’s Test against Australia in a tackle involving teammate Sam Thaiday.
Despite Thaiday being unharmed from the tackle, the Broncos are not willing to risk a two-week suspension for the valuable Blair.
The Kiwi prop will only miss one week with the early guilty plea, while an unsuccessful defence at the judiciary risked another week.
The decision ensures Blair will be available for the Broncos’ crunch match with the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville on May 20.
