Roosters playmaker Sam Verrills has been offered a suspension ranging between 1-2 matches following a high tackle charge in Saturday's win over the Titans.
Verrills' incident involving Gold Coast centre Brian Kelly has been marked down as a grade two charge, meaning the Chooks rake will need to successfully challenge the NRL Judiciary in order to line-up against Manly in next week's semi-final.
Should Verrills and the Roosters be unsuccessful in their challenge - which will need to be submitted before midday on Monday - the 22-year-old will miss two matches.
