THE Sharks' Greg Bird could be facing up to 12 weeks on the sidelines for kneeing South Sydney's Shane Marteene in the head after the National Rugby League completed its review of weekend games today.
Bird was ordered to front the judiciary on Wednesday night and was denied the opportunity for an early plea because of the seriousness of the case.
A contrite Bird is seeking to apologise to the Rabbitohs wing and has said his brutal action was completely out of character.
He could also face disciplinary action from his club.
Sydney Roosters will be without Adrian Morley for at least one week and Stuart Webb will be sidelined for a minimum of three after being charged with careless high tackles of varying degree in the loss to Penrith.
The Panther's Luke Lewis is expected to cop an early guilty plea for a dangerous throw in the same match and will not miss a game as the offence loading of 93 points is not sufficient to warrant a week off. One hundred points is required for one week's suspension.
Cronulla Jason Stevens will miss at least one game after being charged with tripping in the Sharks' loss to Souths.
