Korbin Sims could miss Fiji's test match against PNG after being cited for a Grade 2 careless high tackle in Saturday's loss to the Roosters.
Facing a one match ban, Sims is among three players charged, with Shaun Johnson set to escape suspension for a tripping offence in the Warriors' win over St George Illawarra on Sunday. With an early plea or contested charge, Johnson will be free to line up for New Zealand in Friday's Downer Test Match at Hunter Stadium.
Cronulla's Jayson Bukuya is facing time on the sideline for a shoulder charge late in the Sharks' win over Brisbane on Sunday evening. He'll miss one game with the early plea, or two if he fights the charge and loses.
