Warriors centre Adam Pompey handed one-game NRL ban for dangerous contact
The star 27-year-old has a decision on his hands after learning his fate.
Centre Adam Pompey is to miss the Warriors’ clash with Melbourne after being charged with dangerous contact while Raiders forward Hudson Young has escaped a ban for a hair-pull.
Pompey was slugged with a one-game suspension for his contact with Cronulla back-rower Briton Nikora, allegedly lifting his knee in attack late in their Sunday NRL clash, which was won by the Sharks.
If he fights the grade two charge and is found guilty at the judiciary he will spend two matches on the sidelines, missing their Friday night meeting with the Storm in Melbourne and home clash with Gold Coast.
