Tuinauvai has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and will front Wagga Local Court on Monday.

He is expected to enter a plea at his second appearance for the matter.

The Kangaroos centre was handed one of the longest suspensions in Group Nine history after being found guilty of striking Temora forward Paul Ferguson at the judiciary after the round 14 clash on July 21.

Initially Tuinauvai was barred for 21 games, before having his sentence reduced on appeal.

After the suspension was cut to 10 weeks, Ferguson decided to take the matter further.

Temora president Anthony Madden has backed his player.

"We are supportive after the fact and it is up to the courts now," Madden said.

"I was pretty disappointed in the judicial system and where it got to with it.

"To have a 28-week suspension come back to 10 weeks how do you get that between two judicial systems?

"That was more my argument so it went down the lines of the court.

"If it was all left alone it probably wouldn't have went that way."

The incident left the Dragons replacement forward with a mild brain injury ruling him out for season, but he decided to retire from the game instead.

It was already expected to be the last season for the Temora junior, but at the time Ferguson said he was "beyond devastated" that what happened had not only ended his season but his football playing days.

Tuinauvai pleaded guilty and expressed his remorse at the initial Group Nine judiciary hearing.

However Kangaroos were then successful in having the penalty reduced after appealing the severity of the sentence.

A high grade striking charges faces a minimum base sanction of 600 points, which equates to six games, but Tuinauvai's penalty was 2800 points, or 28 games, before being reduced for the guilty plea and then further after his appeal.
