On the same note, Raiders five-eighth Jack Wighton has been cited by the Match Review Committee for two incidents and could face up to three weeks on the sideline for a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge.

The 30-year-old, who was sin-binned for the 48th-minute incident involving Newcastle halfback Jackson Hastings, faces a two-week suspension with an early guilty plea or three weeks if he unsuccessfully contests the charge at the judiciary.
