Owen Pattie faces a potential two-game ban, impacting the Raiders during a crucial winning streak.
The Canberra Raiders have been dealt a massive blow by the match review committee and it couldn't come at a worse time.
Owen Pattie faces up to a two-game ban for grade-two dangerous contact on South Sydney prop Keaon Koloamatangi.
He'll miss just one game if he takes the early guilty plea, which would mean he'll miss the clash against the Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium next Saturday, but that doubles to two games if he fights the charge and loses.
It's terrible timing, given the Green Machine are on a three-game winning streak and need to keep that going to have a chance of playing finals.
