Wests Tigers forward Tyler Cassel could be banned for up to five weeks for a torpedo-like tackle into Devon Makoate-Boyce as the South Sydney player tried to kick the ball during Friday night's qualifying final in the Holden Cup at Allianz Stadium.

Cassel, 19, was hit with a grade four dangerous contact with kicker charge – not the more serious shoulder charge misdemeanour – for the late tackle where he collected  Makoate-Boyce's chin with his shoulder.

He will be banned for five weeks if he fights the charge and loses, and four if he takes the early guilty plea.

South Sydney duo Tevita Cottrell  (one to two weeks) and Jack Gosiewski  (will escape ban with early guilty plea) were charged following the Rabbitohs elimination loss to the Tigers.

Brisbane's Jo Ofahengaue and Parramatta's Kelepi Tanginoa will escape bans after grade one careless high tackle charges.
