Sydney Roosters forward Zane Tetevano is facing at least a two-game ban after being charged with dangerous contact by the NRL judiciary.

Tetevano has been slapped with a grade two dangerous contact charge for his shot on Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks in the 11th minute of the Roosters' 24-16 win at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday.

The 28-year-old was penalised for attacking the legs of Brooks as he kicked.

Tetevano faces a two-game ban if he takes the early guilty plea, or three matches on the sidelines if he challenges the charge and loses.

Meanwhile, Joshua Aloiai can avoid a ban if he takes an early guilty plea on a grade one dangerous contact charge for his shot on Roosters halfback Cooper Cronk in the 55th minute of the match.

Aloiai will have to serve a one-game ban if he challenges the charge and loses.
