Learoyd-Lahrs out for rest of NRL season
(AAP) Canberra forward Tom Learoyd-Lahrs will miss the rest of the season after unsuccessfully attempting to have his dangerous throw charge downgraded at the NRL judiciary.
Learoyd-Lahrs was suspended for seven matches for lifting Newcastle prop Ben Cross before dumping the NSW Origin representative into the ground early in the secondhalf of Sunday's 38-18 win over the Knights.
Canberra were hoping for a reduction from a grade four dangerous tackle to a grade three, which would have seen Learoyd-Lahrs suspended for only three weeks, but thejudiciary panel decided the original grading would stand.
