Josh Papalii faces suspension after a high shot on Sam Hughes during the Raiders vs. Bulldogs game.
Raiders veteran Josh Papalii is all but certain to spend a stint on the sidelines after a brutal high shot on Bulldogs prop Sam Hughes.
Midway through the first half of Thursday night's clash at GIO Stadium, Papalii shot out of the line and collected Hughes with a massive shot from the kick-off.
Hughes reeled out of the tackle and players from both teams came in for a brief scuffle, before referee Adam Gee blew time off and things settled down.
Papalii was then called out by the on-field official and sent for 10 minutes - but it easily could have been worse for the Green Machine.
