Angus Crichton has been successful in downgrading his Grade B Reckless Striking charge following a judiciary hearing last night.
The Grade B charge, initially carrying a two-match suspension, has been downgraded to a Grade A charge, resulting in a one-match suspension.
However, Crichton has been cleared to serve his ban throughout the 2023 NRL Pre-season, under the jurisdiction of the International Rugby League.
As a result, Crichton will be unavailable for the Sydney Roosters' Pre-season Challenge match against the Melbourne Storm in Geelong, and will be available for the Round 1 match of the 2023 NRL season against The Dolphins.
