Rabbitohs five-eighth Jack Wighton will front the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night after the club decided to fight a potential three-match ban that will be increase to four games if the panel finds him guilty.<\/p>\n
Wighton was hit with a grade 2 charge after he was sent to the sin bin for a shoulder charge on Sharks forward Toby Rudolf, who left the field and will miss a match after he failed his head injury assessment.<\/p>\n
The veteran playmaker will challenge the suspension and likely argue that it was merely a head clash, with Souths hoping he can avoid a ban given they are already missing so many injured stars.<\/p>\n
Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker, Cameron Murray and Campbell Graham were just some of the big names who missed the Sharks game, with Junior Tatola set for a stint on the sidelines after he dislocated his shoulder in the dying minutes.<\/p>\n
Five players were charged out of Sunday\u2019s fixtures, with Tom Starling, Ethan Strange, Toff Sipley, Siosiua Taukeiaho and Jaeman Salmon all facing fines if they accept the early guilty plea.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Dragons superstar Teagan Berry is facing a two-match ban after she was hit with a grade 3 dangerous contact charge for sliding in with her knees as Broncos winger Kerri Johnson scored in the corner.<\/p>\n
The foul play resulted in a potential eight-point try and Berry was sent to the sin bin. It could cost the Dragons dearly, with the NRLW\u2019s greatest try-scorer risking three matches if she fights the charge and loses at the judiciary. <\/p>\n
The Sharks are also set to be without Jaydika Tafua for 2-3 matches after she received a grade 3 charge for dangerous contact while trying to tackle Claudia Nielsen.<\/p>\n
