Wighton whacked over shoulder charge
South Sydney are set to be without another big name after Jack Wighton was hit with a suspension over a shoulder charge in the Rabbitohs' two-point loss to Cronulla.
The former Dally M winner was cited for a shoulder charge on Toby Rudolf, with the shot leaving the Sharks forward concussed and Wighton sent to the sinbin.
Wighton can accept a three-match suspension or risk a fourth match if he fights the charge and is unsuccessful.
Lawton facing another ban
It's the third NRL Judiciary charge for Lawton during the season, with his hip drop tackle on Jayden Su'A looking like being his second ban.
The forward was suspended for two matches earlier this season after executing a cannonball tackle on Roosters second rower Siua Wong.
He was also cited by the Judiciary in Round 1 for dangerous contact against Manly.
