Warriors rookie Eliesa Katoa faces a one week suspension after a dangerous contact charge resulting from the loss to the Panthers

Warriors rookie Eliesa Katoa faces a one week suspension after a dangerous contact charge resulting from the loss to the Panthers

15 August 2020 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Katoa has been hit with a grade one charge for the hit on James Fisher-Harris and would usually escape suspension with an early guilty plea.

However, he has 70 carry-over points to be added, meaning he tips over the 100-point threshold for a one week suspension.

The Warriors have also been loaned outside back Albert Hopoate by Manly.

Hopoate is yet to play first grade following injuries.
