Grade one. Free to play with the plea.
Apparantly Simona having the wherewithall to use his arm to stop all the downward drive going only through his spine is the reason it wasn't that bad.
The Origin rule strikes again

Bloody ridiculous, if that was roles reversed and say Ryan on Sau, we'd see Ryan gone for 8 weeks. It would be a blessing in disguise, but that's not the point I'm trying to illustrate.

So because Simona had the presence of mind to protect himslef Uate gets off?
The judiciary are a joke. Simona could potenially miss a week or two with a bruised shoulder while Uate gets to play Origin. What if in protecting himself he breaks his wrist as he is driven into the floor does tha charge change or can weonly punish players if they actually harm someone.

Fijian flyer cleared to play in Origin II
June 7, 2011 - 11:39AM
Newcastle’s Akuila Uate will be free to play for NSW in State of Origin II with an early guilty plea after being charged with a grade one dangerous throw on Wests Tigers player Tim Simona.
Uate was put on report in the Knights’ 17-16 loss to Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval on Monday night after lifting centre Simona between the legs and dumping him on his back late in the second half.
There had been fears the Fijian-born flyer could be hit with a high grade charge, which would have almost certainly ruled him out of the second Origin match at ANZ Stadium next week.

But NRL match review committee chairman Greg McCallum said a grade one charge was appropriate, giving Uate until midday on Wednesday to accept an early guilty plea and clear him to play for the Blues.
‘‘Although player Uate lifted player Simona into a dangerous position, Simona was able to get his arm to the ground and in some manner protect himself,’’ McCallum said in a statement.
‘‘It is his shoulder that makes most contact with the ground and there is only minor contact with the back of his head.’’

While questionable being a Grade 1 Charge, I'm glad Uate is free to play Origin…

Reads as: "Bozo & Sticky said we're fast running out of outside backs and expressed their concern that they may have to pick a Wests player to fill the breach. They said that this was contrary to Origin selection policy despite them being completely hypocritical bending and breaking every convenant they set for themselves this series thus far… Simona didn't break his neck, therefore Uate is cleared to play."

spear tackles should get sin bins
they should also mean minimum of 4 weeks on the sideline
its going to take someone unable to walk again for them to start knuckling down on this…
i hear all this crap about player welfare blah blah blah... yet the referees focus in the off season is on not standing behind the line on a kick off or packing the scrum properly...
go figure...
