Rabbitohs' Clark facing one-game NRL ban

South Sydney forward Jason Clark is looking at a one-game NRL suspension after being hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge on Jason Taumalolo.

South Sydney forward Jason Clark is facing a one-game NRL ban for dangerous contact on North Queensland star Jason Taumalolo.

Clark was on Monday charged with grade one dangerous contact on Taumalolo in the second half of Sunday's win in Cairns.

He would have escaped suspension with an early guilty plea but has 70 carryover points.

The Rabbitohs have the bye this week before they meet Canterbury on Saturday week.

Cowboys forward Shaun Fensom was hit with a grade one dangerous throw on Rabbitohs utility Cameron Murray from the same game but won't miss any game time with an early guilty plea.

Wests Tigers second-rower Michael Chee Kam was the other player stung by the match review committee from Sunday's games after his possible crusher tackle on Gold Coast centre Dale Copley.

Chee Kam can avoid suspension with an early guilty plea, freeing him to play in the Tigers' next match against competition pacesetters St George Illawarra in a fortnight.
