BRONCOS fullback Karmichael Hunt faces a one-week suspension for his front-on tacckle on Roosters five-eighth Braith Anasta on Good Friday.
Both camps said after the match that Hunt had been a victim of circumastances and Anasta has offered to give evidence on Hunt's behalf but the NRL judiciary committee has still charged the Queensland Origin fullback with a grade-three careless high tackle.
The offence carries 175 demerit points but this will be reduced to 131 if Hunt pleads guilty. Each 100 demerit points equates to a week's suspension.
North Queensland's Ashley Graham was charged with a grade-four careless high tackle for his hit on Tigers captain Brett Hodgson on Saturday night and is also likely to miss Friday night's Suncorp Stadium showdown with the Broncos.
Graham will cop a one-week suspension if he pleads guilty but two if he goes to the judiciary and loses.
Sharks prop Ben Ross has had his striking charge referred direct to the judiciary, meaning he faces a long stint on the sidelines for his late hit on Storm halfback Cooper Cronk in Sunday's fiery encounter in Melbourne.
Storm prop Brett White who imposed on-field justice on Ross has been charged with grade-four striking and faces three weeks on the sideline if he pleads guilty and four if he takes his case to the judiciary and loses.
Sea Eagles prop Josh perry was the other player cited, for striking, and he faces a one-week suspension.
