Sydney Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is set to miss his side’s NRL clash with the Gold Coast after he was charged by the match review committee.
The Kiwi Test forward is set to miss one match after being cited for dangerous contact for a late hit on Canterbury playmaker Jack Cogger on Sunday.
Waerea-Hargreaves could take his case to the judiciary given he is not risking any extra time on the sidelines with a not guilty plea.
He would have ordinarily been free to play but will be forced to miss a week because of his poor disciplinary history.
He copped an extra 60 per cent loading for three prior non-similar offences over the past two years.
Canterbury prop Dylan Napa was also charged with a grade one dangerous contact offence for his late hit on Victor Radley in the same game but will be free to play this weekend with an early guilty plea.
