Melbourne centre Curtis Scott will miss the next two games after strikingย Dylan Walker during their side's clash on Saturday night.
The NRL match committee charged Scott on Sunday with a grade-three stirking charge for hitting Walker, and if he challenges, could miss three games.
Manly hooker Apisai Koroisau was handed a one-match ban with an early guilty plea or a maximum two games.
The Storm released a statement on Twitter in regards to Scott's massive hit.
Statement from Curtis Scott following last nightโs game:
โWhile it doesn't change what happened last night I would like to deeply apologise to my team, Manly and NRL fans for my actions. Not how I want to represent myself, my team, or the game.โ

Walker is expected to miss the next six weeks with a fractured eye socket.
In addition to the current charges, the NRL match review committee will be studying the 52nd-minute scuffle that involved up to 12 players.
