Tom Starling faces a potential one-game suspension for a high tackle on Chanel Harris-Tavita.

The Canberra Times

Canberra Raiders hooker Tom Starling is at risk of missing one NRL game after being slapped with a suspension for a high shot on Chanel Harris-Tavita in the Green Machine's 16-10 win over the New Zealand Warriors on Sunday.

On Monday morning the NRL match review committee delivered a grade two dangerous contact charge to Starling which could see him serve a one-match ban with an early plea.

Starling's tackle on the Warriors five-eighth was penalised in the game for being late and high, and also landed the hooker in the sin bin at a crucial moment at Mount Smart Stadium.
