NRLW tackle: Two send offs from horror tackles put Warriors’ finals hopes in jeopardy

Warriors' Gray and Ikenasio face judiciary after red cards for dangerous tackles in loss to Canberra.

Warriors duo Matekino Gray and Tysha Ikenasio have both been referred straight to the judiciary after being sent off in Saturday's 20-16 loss to Canberra.

The NRL's match review committee has come down hard on the pair for two shocking tackles in Hamilton, for which they both earned early showers.

Gray was sent first for a lifting tackle in the 22nd minute which put Raiders forward Chloe Saunders headfirst into the turf, while Ikenasio (hip drop) was marched just three minutes later.

Pending suspensions will come as a big concern to the sixth-placed Warriors who are still fighting for their spot in the finals across the last four weeks of the competition while battling a stack of injuries.
