Bulldogs captain Stephen Crichton may not play again before the finals after being charged with a Careless High Tackle following Friday night’s win over the Warriors.
The tackle on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in the 46th minute was placed on report and has been assessed as a Grade 2 offence, which carries a one-game ban with an early guilty plea.
Should Crichton fight the charge and be found guilty at the judiciary he will miss two games, sidelining him until week one of the finals.
Warriors prop Addin Fonua-Blake is facing a $1000 fine for Dangerous Contact while his teammate Jazz Tevaga is also looking at a $1000 fine for the same offence.
Broncos forward Brendan Piakura has been charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact offence following the win over the Eels and will be fined $1800 should he enter an early guilty plea. That increases to $2500 should he fight the charge and lose.
