Warriors winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is facing an NRL suspension, following his sin-binning in Saturday’s defeat to the Melbourne Storm.
The 28-year-old has been handed a grade two careless high tackle charge, after taking out Melbourne winger Grant Anderson in the second half at Go Media Stadium.
Watene-Zelezniak is facing a one-match ban at the very least, should he plead guilty early, or two matches at most if he contests the charge.
An early plea will see him miss the round 16 clash away to the Gold Coast Titans next weekend, while a two-game suspension would also mean missing the home match against the Brisbane Broncos at the end of June.
Edward Kosi is the likely replacement for Watene-Zelezniak, after deputising for fellow winger Marcelo Montoya earlier this season.
