Roosters lock Victor Radley is facing a one-week suspension for his tackle that upended Dane Gagai in his side's 28-12 win over South Sydney on Friday night.
Renowned for his hard-hitting defence, Radley stopped Gagai in his tracks from a quick tap, though it saw the Rabbitohs outside back lifted above the horizontal.
Thanks to prior carry-over points, Radley will miss a week even with an early guilty plea after being charged with a grade-one dangerous throw.

Should the 22-year-old be cleared to face Brisbane next week, the club will have to fight the charge at the judiciary.
If they do so and are unsuccessful, he will still only miss one match, so don't be surprised to see the Tricolours take this one to the NRL.
They have until midday on Sunday to either accept the penalty or announce their intention to fight it.
In better news for Trent Robinson's team, enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is free to take on the Broncos after escaping with a financial sanction for his high shot on Alex Johnston.
The Kiwi plays on the line and often finds himself on the wrong side of the match review committee, though this time it'll only cost him $1,600 with an early guilty plea.
