SYDNEY Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has not been charged by the NRL match review committee for an alleged elbow on Newcastle forward Jeremy Smith.
The Knights were fuming after Saturday's 29-12 loss to the premiers, claiming Waerea-Hargreaves deliberately targeted opponents with his elbows while in possession of the ball.
Smith was taken from the field late in the second half after attempting to tackle Waerea-Hargreaves in an incident not penalised by the on-field officials.

But in charges released on Monday, the NRL found the former Kiwi international had no case to answer.
Knights coach Wayne Bennett and captain Kurt Gidley were particularly scathing of the incident after the game.
"If that is acceptable in the game then the game needs to be changed," Bennett said of the alleged elbow lift.
Should Jared Waerea-Hargreaves have been charged for the 'elbow' incident that left Jeremy Smith injured?
"We all saw it on replay and the video referee saw it and they must have all thought it was acceptable.
"It is not acceptable but that was their take on it tonight. We will see what the future holds.''
Knights veteran Gidley claimed JWH was a serial offender. A similar incident saw club legend Danny Buderus stretchered from the field last year in the hooker's final rugby league match.
"I think he runs with his elbow raised," Gidley said.

"As much as we are trying to protect players from leg injuries, well people getting hit in throats is just as dangerous. Personally I do think he runs with his elbow raised and I think there will be a few players here tonight that back me up."

Roosters coach Trent Robinson maintained that Waerea-Hargreaves would not have a case to answer for the elbow lift.
"That was north-south," Robinson said.

"He is a tall guy and if you want to go high on him … He went north south with it and that is OK.''
Ahead of Gold Coast's clash with Melbourne on Monday night, the NRL has issued no charges from round 14.
