Gilbert was slapped with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle from the Match Review Committee and he accepted a one-game ban on Monday.
It was Gilbert’s first offence and Riki’s second which is why he copped a harsher penalty.
The NRL’s match review committee was kept busy on Saturday with eight players charged and a total of $14,000 in fines issued.
Tigers halfback Jarome Luai faces a one-game suspension for his careless high tackle charge on Sunday, should he take the early guilty plea.
