Zac Laybutt will miss the NRL season opener for a Grade 2 dangerous throw, while Mark Tuialii faces a one-match ban for a high tackle.
North Queensland Cowboys centre Zac Laybutt is set to miss the season opener in Las Vegas for a Grade 2 dangerous throw.
He was charged by the NRL's match review committee following the Cowboys' strong preseason win in Mackay against the Penrith Panthers yesterday.
The charge took place in the 27th minute of the match, where Laybutt up-ended Panthers five-eighth Keahn Skipps after passing the ball.
It was picked up by the Bunker within the next minute of play, resulting in Laybutt being placed on report and sent to the sin-bin.
