Brisbane Broncos forward Jordan Riki is facing at least two weeks on the sideline after he was charged with a Grade 1 Crusher Tackle in his side's heavy defeat to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.
Riki, who also attracted a $1,600 fine for an incident involving Sea Eagles outside back Morgan Harper in the second half, will miss the next two matches with an early guilty plea or three weeks should he unsuccessfully fight the charge.
Despite eight players being sin-binned in the opening two matches of Magic Round — which included six players being placed on report — only Riki will spend time on the sidelines after he, Tyson Gamble and Tevita Pangai Junior were cited with fines.
No players were charged from Wests Tigers' big win over the Knights.
Saturday saw a slew of players charged from the three respective matches, with Canberra trio Jack Wighton, Josh Papalii and Josh Hogdson all facing suspension from incidents stemming out of their win over the Bulldogs.
All other players cited on Saturday attracted only monetary charges.
There were more charges to come on Sunday with another 10 players cited by the Match Review Committee for an array of offences.
St. George-Illawarra were the hardest hit — with five players charged in their heavy loss to the Storm — while the Panthers and Titans each had two players picked up.
