The Reddies centre was handed the suspension by the Southern Inland Rugby Union judiciary after being charged with a dangerous tackle where Waratahs player Sam Bunny was taken to hospital on May 25.

But Charles was exonerated after it was determined he wasn't the player in the tackle by a different Canberra-based judiciary panel at the appeals hearing.

CSU president Ryan Giacca admitted Charles was disillusioned by the ordeal, but was thankful the appeal process had served its purpose.

"It was a good result last night but we're not happy about it to be honest, because you've got an injured player in Sam Bunny being hurt and you never want that in a game of footy," Giacca said.

"We've also got a pretty angry Darryl Charles. He's pretty disenchanted with rugby and now we've got to work on him to try and convince him to have a run.

"We really do think he will, there's going to be a few more conversations to get that over the line.

"It's not a loophole we're happy about, it's quite disappointing that Darryl was cited. But we're happy the process worked, the appeal process is there for a reason.

"From all accounts it was a very high speed incident and we had two similar blokes on the field.

"But you've got a player getting hurt and you never want that. We hope Sam makes a really quick recovery and gets back on the field soon."

Giacca expects to receive a report on the process early next week, but is unsure whether SIRU has the authority to now charge the correct player involved in the alleged incident.

"I'm not sure of the technicalities or whether they can look at the right person involved," he said.

"We get an official report back in a couple of days, we've got to what to see what in there."

SIRU did not return phone calls today.
