Young Brisbane<\/a> forward Brendan Piakura is free to play NRL finals despite being charged for three separate incidents.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe 21-year-old can accept $3000 worth of fines for three grade one charges – two careless high tackles and a dangerous contact – during Thursday's loss to Melbourne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ufeffEven Broncos coach Kevin Walters<\/a> anticipated he would lose the young backrower for at least the first week of finals.<\/p>\n

"Well he was on report three times so I daresay (he'll be suspended)," the coach responded post-game.<\/p>\n

But the NRL's charge system\ufeff will allow Piakura to play next week.<\/p>\n

\"Brendan<\/p>\n

Even if he fights any of the charges at the judiciary, he still won't be suspended. A failed judiciary bid on all three charges would still result in only monetary penalties.<\/p>\n

It's in stark contract to Roosters enforcer Jared Waera-Hargreaves, who last week copped two charges and will miss seven games of football as a result.<\/p>\n

Saving Piakura is his clean rap sheet.<\/p>\n

He was first reported for a careless high tackle on Storm rookie Grant Anderson in the opening minutes, and performance another high tackle on Alec MacDonald late in the game.<\/p>\n

Sandwiched by those two reports was another for an off-the-ball shot on Storm debutant Sualauvi Faalogo\ufeff, which left the youngster gasping for air on the ground.<\/p>\n

Piakura rushed out of the defensive line in anticipation and levelled Faalogo despite him not receiving the ball.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffPiakura nailed him, it was a great tackle," Cameron Smith said on Nine.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffUnfortunately for Piakura he (Faalogo) didn't receive the football. He is a threat."<\/p>\n

League legend Paul Vautin called the collision "nasty".\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"NRL<\/p>\n

"When\ufeff you're running like that and you're not receiving the ball, and you're not bracing, that's nasty," Paul Vautin said.<\/p>\n

"He just relaxed and then he gets hammered, so he's hurt."\ufeff<\/p>\n
