SUSPENDED! New Zealand Warriors star ‘James Fisher-Harris’ suspended from the NRL judiciary for a high shot on Dolphin Harrison Graham, in a blow to the Warriors’ outstanding start to the 2025 season.
New Zealand Warriors star James Fisher-Harris has copped a suspension from the NRL judiciary for a high shot on Dolphin Harrison Graham, in a blow to the Warriors’ outstanding start to the 2025 season.
Fisher-Harris was sin-binned late in the second half after his shoulder connected with Graham’s head in a tackle gone wrong.
Leading 16-6 at the time, the sin-binning caused a late scare for the Warriors, with the Dolphins scoring a try and nearly adding a second to snatch an unlikely victory.
The incident was deemed a Grade 2 careless high tackle, carrying with it a two-match sanction, or one if Fisher-Harris accepts an early plea.
The 29-year old has been a key figure in the Warriors’ 8-2 start to the season, having crossed the Tasman at the end of 2024 after four consecutive premierships with the Penrith Panthers.
If he accepts the charge, Fisher-Harris will miss the Warriors’ blockbuster Round 12 clash with the Canberra Raiders next Sunday.
He was the only player suspended from Saturday’s NRL action, with Kodi Nikorima, Reuben Garrick and Siosifa Talakai all receiving fines for foul play.
