Sebastian Kris will play no part in Canberra's finals campaign after being slapped with a five-game ban following his send off for a spear tackle on Sione Katoa during the Raiders' 24-6 loss to the Sharks.
The incident in the 60th minute was deemed a grade three dangerous throw by the NRL match review committee on Monday.
If he enters an early guilty plea, Kris will be suspended for five matches. However, if he fights the charge unsuccessfully, he will cop a six match ban. Either scenario will likely put him out for the first month of next season.
