Manly winger Lehi Hopoate is facing a suspension after being charged following Saturday's Magic Round action.

Hopoate has been hit with a Grade 2 Contrary Conduct charge for making contact with the referee while chasing a bomb in Saturday's 46-18 victory over the Wests Tigers.

Hopoate will serve a one-match ban with an early guilty plea or two games if he is found guilty by the judiciary.

Hopoate extended his try-scoring-streak to seven games when crossing against the Tigers

Should Lehi serve a one-match ban he will miss Saturday's Round 12 game against the Titans at 4 Pines Park.
