The Canberra Raiders might have to take on the Sydney Roosters forward pack without one of their key enforcers.

He can reduce that to a one-game ban with an early guilty plea after the match review committee charged him with grade-two dangerous contact in the 40^th minute of the Raiders' gutsy 24-20 victory over Canterbury at Lang Park.
