Dragons forward Tyrell Fuimaono and Warriors back-rower Eliesa Katoa are both facing one-match ban for a dangerous tackles in Friday night's matches.
Fuimaono was charged with a grade two dangerous contact offence for his tackle on Eels prop Junior Paulo, meaning he faces a one-match ban with an early guilty plea or risks a two-match suspension if found guilty at the judiciary.
Katoa was hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge for his tackle on Penrith's James Fisher-Harris. It would usually result in no suspension but with 70 carry-over points to his name he's facing a one-match ban whether he enters an early guilty plea or not.
Melbourne prop Jesse Bromwich has been charged with grade-one dangerous contact from Thursday night's win over the Roosters at the SCG.
Bromwich was charged by the match review committee for an incident in the 25th minute involving Matt Ikuvalu - the Storm prop is accused of a "hip drop" tackle on the Roosters winger.

Graham Annesley recently warned players about this practice of dropping their body weight onto the unprotected back legs of ball carriers to finish a tackle.
He will avoid a one-game suspension if he enters an early guilty plea.
