Manly Warringah Sea Eagles hooker Brandon Wakeham is facing a one-match ban after being charged following Saturday night’s win over Brisbane Broncos.
Wakeham has been hit with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle charge for his tackle on Broncos forward Ben Talty in the 32nd minute of Manly’s 28-point win over the defending premiers.
The Fiji international will receive a one-match ban with an early plea, but will serve a two-game suspension if he unsuccessfully fights the charge.
A one-game ban will see Wakeham miss Saturday’s Magic Round fixture against the Wests Tigers.
