The Sydney Roosters could be without enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves for a number of weeks after a late and wayward elbow on Wests Tigers five-eighth Tuimoala Lolohea.

Lolohea had put a kick in down field when Warea-Hargreaves swung his elbow out late and collected Lolohea right on the jaw.

Lolohea went to ground and a penalty was then called.

Warea-Hargreaves was placed on report for the hit and is now likely to be charged by the Match Review Committee.

The Roosters are still fighting for a Top 4 finish and a suspension for Warea-Hargreaves would put a significant dent in their finals aspirations.

Fans were quick to condemn the contact made by Waerea-Hargreaves on social media, with many wondering what it takes these days to get sent off.

Watch the late hit below and let us know in the comments what you think about it.
