The Canberra Raiders have suffered a massive blow ahead of their clash against Penrith after Jack Wighton was hit with two charges by the NRL match review committee on Monday morning.
Wighton has been offered an $1800 fine for his hit on Lachie Miller, but the bigger problem is he faces a two-match ban for a late shot on Newcastle's Jackson Hastings.
The committee deemed the hit on Hastings as a grade two dangerous conduct charge. Wighton will be banned for two matches if he enters an early guilty plea. He faces a three-match ban if he tries to fight the charge and lose.
