South Sydney have been dealt a blow with influential Kiwis hooker Issac Luke possibly out up to two weeks on the sideline for a dangerous throw.
The New Zealand test international has been charged by the National Rugby League match review committee with a grade-one dangerous throw on Penrith's Tyrone Peachey.
With the Rabbitohs having the bye next weekend, he will only miss his side's clash with St George Illawarra in a fortnight with an early guilty plea.
But he will sit out two rounds should he unsuccessfully defend the charge at the NRL judiciary.
