Parramatta Eels lock Feleti Mateo has been charged by the match review committee.
Mateo has been charged with a Grade 1 Striking offence from the 60th minute of the eels' match against the Rabbitohs last Friday night.
With a clean record, Mateo can escape suspension with an early guilty plea and will not miss his final match for the Parramatta Eels against the Warriors, his future club, this Saturday.
A decision on how he pleas will be made soon.

Actually thought that he was a bit lucky to only get one week tops after re-watching the fight incident.
He got a clean punch on Lowe, but I guess the NRL Match Review Committee didn't deem it as malicious.
Inu, KK, Mateo and particularly Cayless, all deserve our support this weekend.
You mean something on the field, so that he misses out on a game/games next year?
Unless he wants to be in the fans bad books, I doubt he'd do that.
