Hair-puller could get pinned back

-

MANLY’S Darcy Lussick faces a fine for pulling Aaron Woods’ hair in a tackle during the win over Wests Tigers on Sunday.

Prop Lussick used two hands to pull Woods down by the hair as the Tigers captain ran the ball up 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.

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 Eels clash 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 forward flattened Dugan – taken from the field – in the Raiders’ golden-point win on Friday night and was charged with a grade-two offence.
