Centre Adam Pompey is to miss the Warriors clash with Melbourne after being charged with dangerous contact while Raiders forward Hudson Young has escaped a ban for a hair-pull.
Pompey was slugged with a one-game suspension for his contact with Cronulla back-rower Briton Nikora, allegedly lifting his knee in attack late in their Sunday NRL clash, which was won by the Sharks.
If he fights the grade two charge and is found guilty at the judiciary he will spend two matches on the sidelines, missing their Friday night meeting with the Storm in Melbourne and home clash with Gold Coast.

Young faces a contrary conduct charge after pulling the dreadlocked hair of Newcastle winger Dominic Young during the Raiders' heavy loss on Sunday.
The Canberra enforcer has been fined $1000 with an early guilty plea.
Young was one of four players charged by the match review panel from the heated encounter at McDonald Jones Stadium with his Raiders teammate Kaeo Weekes also fined for an alleged careless high tackle on Phoenix Crossland.
Two Knights players - Tyson Frizell and Greg Marzhew - were both pinged for dangerous contact but have avoided suspension.
