Catalans Dragons centre Ben Pomeroy could miss the rest of the season after being charged with making a grade E dangerous throw on Castleford's Ashley Gibson.
Pomeroy was sent off - for the second time in three matches - in Saturday's Super 8s win over the Tigers for the X-rated challenge and has been charged by the Rugby Football League's match review panel.
The Australian, who was making his return from a one-match ban for a shoulder charge, could be suspended for up to eight matches if found guilty when he appears in front of a disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday evening.
Warrington prop Ashton Sims is also facing the threat of a second ban of the season after being charged with a grade B offence of stamping on fellow front rower Lee Mossop during the Wolves' 28-0 home defeat by Wigan last Friday.
Sims, who served a one-match ban for punching last month, was placed on report for the offence and will appear in front of the tribunal.
Meanwhile, Wakefield hooker Michael Sio, sin-binned for a dangerous tackle on Leigh full-back Gregg McNally during his side's 17-16 win over the Centurions on Saturday, has been charged with a grade B offence.
Leigh second rower Kurt Haggerty, put on report for striking with his knees on Wildcats scrum-half Tim Smith in the same Super 8s Qualifiers match, has also been charged with a grade B offence.
Haggerty will face a hearing while Sio has until 11am on Tuesday to submit an early guilty plea.
