Warriors' Lisone set for NRL ban

Warriors prop Sam Lison faces a two- to three-week suspension after being charged with dangerous contact by the NRL match review committee.

The Warriors are set to be without front-rower Sam Lisone for the next fortnight after he was charged by the NRL match review committee for a raised forearm.

Lisone can accept a two-match ban after being cited for dangerous contact for an incident on Tariq Sims late in his side's win over St George Illawarra in Wollongong on Saturday.

Lisone appeared to collect the NSW Origin back-rower with a raised forearm and is set for a stint on the sidelines unless he successfully fights the charge.

He was hit hard by the committee because of his poor record, which includes three similar offences during the past two years.

He's set to miss the Warriors' home clash with Newcastle on Friday and match with Canterbury the following week.

Should he take his case to the judiciary, he risks being suspended for three weeks because of carryover points.

His Warriors teammate Bunty Afoa is also set to miss the Knights game after he was charged with dangerous contact.
