Manly forward Haumole Olakau'atu has taken an early guilty plea for a shoulder charge following the 44-6 win over the Knights on Sunday.
Olakau'atu received a Grade One charge for the hit on Mat Croker in the 33rd minute.
He has been fined $3000 in pleading guilty instead of facing two games on the sidelines if the charge was unsuccessfully contested.
Olakau'atu is now available for selection for Sunday's game against the Gold Coast Titans at 4 Pines Park.
