Brisbane forward Sam Thaiday has been handed a maximum $2100 fine after copping a grade one contrary conduct charge for squeezing Melbourne prop Jesse Bromwich's injured thumb in Thursday night's NRL clash.

Thaiday can reduce the fine to $1550 with an early guilty plea for the second-half incident in which he grabs hold of Bromwich's bandaged right thumb he dislocated in round one.

He'll be free to line up in the Broncos' next match against Canberra on Friday.
