Thomas Flegler

Thomas Flegler is set to miss some action after being hit hard by the match review committee for his shot on Isaah Yeo on Saturday night. 

Meanwhile, Manly's Josh Aloiai is also facing a suspension for a hit on Alex Seyfarth, with Cam Murray and Matt Lodge also set to be rubbed out. 

Here's the full list of judiciary charges from Saturday's games. 

THOMAS FLEGLER TO MISS TWO OR THREE WEEKS

Flegler was sin-binned for a high shot on Isaah Yeo as the Broncos went down 18-12 at Suncorp Stadium.

Yeo played no further part in the match, with Flegler eventually being hit with a grade three careless high tackle charge. 

He has one prior non-similar incident in the past five years and five carryover points. 

The forward will miss two weeks if he takes the early guilty plea, or three if he fights the charge and loses. 

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary was incensed when asked about the incident following the match. 

“Not, in my opinion, no. I mean he was knocked out as soon as he hit him,” Cleary said when asked if Flegler’s sin-binning was sufficient.

“It’s an illegal act, that’s why he got sent to the bin so I don’t know what you’ve got to do to get sent-off, that’s just my opinion though.”

JOSH ALOIAI FACING ONE OR TWO WEEK SUSPENSION

Manly prop Josh Aloiai was hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge for a hit on Alex Seyfarth. 

Aloiai hit the Tigers forward around the knee in the 31st minute, with Seyfarth being forced from the field. 

Tigers coach Michael Maguire later confirmed the news was "not good" with Seyfarth reportedly suffering an MCL injury. 

Aloiai has no recent priors and will miss one week with an early guilty plea, or two if he fights the charge and loses. 

MATT LODGE AND CAM MURRAY CITED IN RABBITOHS-WARRIORS CLASH

Warriors forward Matt Lodge and Rabbitohs lock Cam Murray are both facing a one or two week suspension after the Bunnies scored a 60-22 win. 

Lodge was hit with a grade one contrary conduct charge for a run-in with Keaon Koloamatagi in the 75th minute. 

He has priors, and will miss one match with an early plea, or two if he fights it and loses. 

Murray was handed a grade grade one charge after a crusher tackle on Lodge in the very first minute of the match. 

He will be suspended one week with an early plea, or two if he fights and loses. 

JAMAYNE ISSAKO FINED FOR HIGH TACKLE

Broncos back Jamayne Issako was hit with a grade one careless high tackle on Viliame Kikau. 

He will be fined either $750 or $1150.
