Dolphins utility Jarrod Wallace has won his judiciary appeal against a three-game ban for a shoulder charge on Spencer Leniu.
Wallace was put on report the the alleged shoulder charge on Leniu in the 36th minute of the Dolphins 24-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
He was offered three games for the early plea on the grade one charge, but elected to risk an extra match by going to the judiciary.

He was successful, and is free to play the Dolphins next game against the Bulldogs in round 22.
Parramatta's star winger Junior Paulo is next to face the judiciary, opting to push for a downgrade to his grade two careless high tackle charge on Jojo Fifita in the Eels narrow win over the Titans in the following game.
Paulo was also offered three matches, but will have that increased to four if he's unsuccessful in having the charges downgraded.
Given the Eels have already lost Reagan Campbell-Gillard for the next four games for his knees-in-the-back effort on Chris Randall, the Eels will be hoping to get Sivo — who is tied with teammate and skipper Clint Gutherson for third on the try-scorers list for the season — in the team against the in-form Cowboys on Saturday night.
Sivo has been named by the Eels to play.
