NRL: Kiwis star facing two-week ban

Parramatta centre and Kiwis international Krisnan Inu is facing a two-game suspension after being charged with a grade two dangerous throw by the NRL match review panel.

Inu was cited for a tackle on Jamie Simpson in the 19th minute of the 16-all draw against South Sydney on Friday night.

Even with an early plea Inu will miss two matches, while he risks a three-game ban if he opts to contest the charge at the NRL judiciary.

Other players facing a suspension are Melbourne winger Anthony Quinn (contrary conduct) and Manly forward Glenn Stewart (dangerous throw), who will get one-match bans if they enter early guilty pleas.

Stewart's Sea Eagles teammate Jason King has also been slapped with a dangerous contact charge from Sunday's loss on the Gold Coast, but will avoid suspension with an early plea.

Canberra's Jarrod Croker (dangerous throw) and Sydney Rooster Willie Mason (knee lift) are also in the same situation.

Wests Tigers' British import Gareth Ellis has also been cited for dangerous contact from Friday night's loss to Brisbane but the NRL is awaiting a misconduct record from his time in Super League before confirming his points situation.
