Raiders forward Hudson Young has received a five-match ban after being charged by the NRL match review committee over an incident in Saturday night's win over Canterbury at ANZ Stadium.
Young was charged with grade-three dangerous contact - head/neck (eye contact) from an incident involving Bulldogs prop Aiden Tolman in the 34th minute of Canberra's 12-10 win.
He has received a five-game ban after accepting an early guilty plea, and would have risked a seven-match suspension if he unsuccessfully challenged the charge at the judiciary.
Meanwhile Cowboys hooker Kurt Baptiste will miss one match after taking an early guilty plea on a dangerous contact charge on Titans five-eighth Tyrone Roberts from Sunday's match at Cbus Super Stadium.
Manly young gun Corey Waddell has accepted a two-match ban after being charged by the NRL match review committee over an incident in Thursday night's loss to Penrith at Panthers Stadium.
Three-match ban looms for Corey Waddell
The rookie forward was handed a grade-one striking offence for a 30th-minute incident involving Panthers rival Liam Martin.
Penrith's Tyrell Fuimaono was also charged with a grade-one careless high tackle on Curtis Sironen and is facing a fine of $1150-$1500.
