Manly's Darcy Lussick is facing a fine for pulling Aaron Woods' hair in a tackle during Sunday's win over Wests Tigers.

Prop Lussick used two hands to pull Woods down by the hair as the Tigers captain ran the ball up early in the second half of the Sea Eagles' 28-16 win at Lottoland.

Lussick can accept a $1350 fine with an early guilty plea for the contrary conduct charge over the incident.

Meanwhile, Tigers forward Sauaso Sue faces a one-match ban after being charged with dangerous conduct.

Sue raised his knee and collected Manly hooker Api Koroisau in the 65th minute.

He will miss Sunday's clash with Parramatta with an early guilty plea.

Canberra prop Josh Papalii will miss two matches after accepting a two-game ban for a shoulder charge on St George Illawarra's Josh Dugan.

The Queensland representative flattened Dugan in the Raiders' golden-point win on Friday night and was charged with a grade-two offence.

Dugan was taken from the field as a result of the hit.

Papalii will miss the Raiders' matches against Melbourne and South Sydney.
