In the 13th minute of the Round 14 contest, Wallace was put on report for a shoulder charge on Warriors centre Rocco Berry, who was knocked out and later failed an HIA.

The 31-year-old was subsequently charged by NRL match review committee with a grade two offence on Sunday, copping a three-week suspension with an early plea.
Meanwhile, Milford was sent to the sin bin and put on report by referee Grant Atkins following a late tackle on Warriors winger Marcelo Montoyo early in the second half of the 30-8 defeat at Go Media Stadium.
The 28-year-old was also handed a three-week ban (with an early plea) for the grade two offence.
Elsewhere, Titans hooker Chris Randall has been handed a one-match ban for dangerous contact during Saturday’s 46-28 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Cbus Super Stadium.
In the 20th minute, South Sydney lock Jai Arrow came down awkwardly as Randall brought him to the ground in a tackle, with the Rabbitohs forward appearing to injure his ankle.
Arrow limped from the field following the potential hip drop tackle, which went unpunished during the match. The 27-year-old was later ruled out of the contest after failing a test to prove his fitness.
