Kurt Morrin, a Bulldogs forward, is facing a ban for a lifting tackle on Cameron Murray. Latrell Mitchell was also charged after the Good Friday match at Accor Stadium.
Morrin faces a two-game suspension following an early guilty plea for a Grade 2 Dangerous Throw in the 51st minute of the encounter. Should he contest the case and be found guilty by the court, he will miss three games.
Mitchell, meanwhile, has been charged with Dangerous Contact for his tackle on Bulldogs winger Josh Addo-Carr just before halftime.
The Grade 1 offence entails a $1800 punishment with an early guilty plea, which rises to $2500 if he fights the charge and loses.
Bulldogs fullback Blake Taaffe was charged with Grade 1 Dangerous Contact and might face a $1000 fine if he enters an early guilty plea.
Roosters forward Nat Butcher was charged with Careless High Tackle during his team’s loss to Penrith on Thursday night.
The tackle on Matt Eisenhuth in the 46th minute was classed as a Grade 1 offence, carrying a $1000 punishment with an early guilty plea.
If Butcher chooses to contest the case and is found guilty in court, the fine will climb to $1500.
