NRL Judiciary: Bulldogs prop Dylan Napa handed dangerous contact charge after narrow Tigers loss image

Bulldogs prop Dylan Napa is set to miss Sunday's clash with the Warriors after being cited for 'leading with his head' during their narrow loss to the Tigers.

Napa was put on report in the 29th minute of the 31-30 loss after he was deemed to have led with his head while attempting to make a tackle on Wests Tigers forward Sam McIntyre.

The Queensland representative will miss a week regardless of his plea as a result of loading from a similar incident in 2018 , which saw him miss three weeks due to a tackle on Brisbane Broncos hooker Andrew McCullough.

The Bulldogs have until noon on Tuesday to enter a plea.

Meanwhile, the judiciary is set for a busy night after the Storm confirmed that prop Jesse Bromwich will contest a dangerous contact charge following their win over the Roosters on Thursday.

The New Zealand international was charged after he was deemed to have made a "hip drop" tackle on Roosters winger Matt Ikavalu.


This comes as Titans captain Kevin Proctor was referred straight to the judiciary after his alleged bite on Shaun Johnson.

The club announced on Monday that Proctor will plead not guilty as he attempts to clear his name.

Along with this, Dragons second-rower Tyrell Fuimaono will seak a downgrade after he was charged with a grade-two dangerous contact offence for his tackle on Eels prop Junior Paulo.

If he is successful, the Indigenous All Stars representative will be available to play the Broncos in round 15.
