    Canterbury Bulldogs forward Corey Harawira-Naera could play as soon as round 11 after he and Jayden Okunbor successfully appealed their NRL dismissals

    Canterbury Bulldogs forward Corey Harawira-Naera could play as soon as round 11 after he and Jayden Okunbor successfully appealed their NRL dismissals


    The pair were de-registered following a schoolgirl sex scandal in Port Macquarie in March.

    The NRL's since announced an alternative sanction, with Okunbor banned for 14 games and Harawira-Naera 10 - they've been fined $22,500 and $15,000 respectively.

    Both suspensions have been backdated to round one, meaning Harawira-Naera could run out against Newcastle on July 26.
