Samoa prop Junior Paulo has received a warning after entering an early guilty plea to a Grade 1 shoulder-charge charge.
NRL.com’s latest World Cup disciplinary summary records a warning rather than a suspension. The outcome removes a disciplinary obstacle ahead of Samoa’s semi-final against Australia.
It does not confirm Paulo’s selection or medical availability. Those details remain subject to the team’s preparations and official announcements.
The judiciary decision gives Samoa a clearer picture as it prepares for the knockout stage.
