New Zealand and Newcastle enforcer Jeremy Smith is set to miss Friday’s Test with Australia and faces a further five-game NRL ban after being charged for a head slam from Saturday’s win over Penrith.
The back-rower was hit with a grade three dangerous contact head slam charge, from an ugly incident in which Panthers forward Matt Robinson was left heavily concussed and forced from the field on a stretcher.
An early guilty plea would result in a four-game ban for Smith, one of which can be served in Friday’s Test to be played in Canberra.
Should the 33-year-old take the charge to the NRL judiciary, his only hope of facing the Kangaroos, and lose, he faces six weeks on the sidelines.
Canterbury second-rower Dale Finucane and Warrior Russell Packer can both escape suspensions with early guilty pleas.
Finucane was charged over an unnecessary arm/shoulder pressure dangerous contact charge on Sydney Roosters winger Daniel Tupou, while Packer was deemed to have applied too much pressure to the head and neck of Canberra prop Brett White.

Trying the short kick, he kicked it completely wrong sending it bouncing over the dead-ball line!
Jeremiah Nanai thought he'd extended the Cowboys' lead, but his teammate got in the way denying the try.
From the sublime to the ridiculous. It’s a fair assessment of Saturday at Magic Round, where one of the games of the season, a…
