Cronulla forward Wade Graham is facing a one-match suspension for making dangerous contact to the head/neck of young Knights star Kalyn Ponga, following their clash on Sunday afternoon.

If Graham pleads guilty he'll accept a one-match ban, so he'll need to fight the charge if he's to be free to play in the Sharks' clash with the Rabbitohs on Friday night.

Even though it's unlikely he'll be named in the New South Wales Origin I team on Monday night, Graham will miss the clash on June 6 should he be selected and receive a suspension.

Graham's teammate Luke Lewis was also cited for a hit on Ponga, but his clean record can see him escape a ban.

Newcastle forward Herman Ese'ese is facing a one-match suspending for dangerous contact on Cronulla's Chad Townsend, while teammate Nathan Ross can accept a fine for a trip.

Melbourne will be without Sam Kasiano while Penrith will be sans Jack Hetherington for their next matches, after the pair both accepted one-match bans.
