Tevita Pangai's pre-season carnage won't result in an NRL ban, the Canterbury recruit not charged for two incidents in his team's trial loss to Cronulla.
Pangai was placed on report twice and sent to the sin bin once in the Bulldogs' 30-6 loss on Monday night -- cited for dangerous contact and striking.
But neither incident has resulted in a charge from the match review committee.
Instead, Cronulla forward Braden Hamlin-Uele was the only player in strife and facing an $1800 fine for dangerous contact on Jake Averillo.
Pangai hit Sione Katoa as the Sharks winger lay on the ground, with the bunker ruling he had made contact with his head.
The Bulldogs recruit was then sin-binned in the 29th minute when he appeared to strike Royce Hunt with his forearm as they tussled in a tackle, ripping his opponent's jersey in the process as the pair threatened to spark a brawl.
Any significant charge for Pangai could have been a disaster, given he had two offences last year and would attract significant weighting on any ban.
"We want Tevita to be aggressive but we have to be smart," Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett said after the match.
