Warriors five-eighth Dylan Walker is facing at least two weeks on the sideline after being charged by the NRL's match review committee.
Walker has been hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge for a shot on Melbourne's Eliesa Katoa in the 38th minute of the Storm's 30-22 win at AAMI Park.
The 28-year-old will be suspended for two matches if he takes the early guilty plea, or three matches if he fights the charge at the judiciary and loses.

Walker was sin binned for the head slam by referee Grant Atkins, while Katoa failed his HIA and took no further part in the match.
Meanwhile, Roosters enforcer Victor Radley is the only other player charged out of the Anzac Day matches.

Radley has been charged with a grade one careless high tackle, for what Nine commentator Andrew Johns said was a head clash in the Roosters win over St George Illawarra. Radley can accept a fine of $3000, but would be suspended for two matches if he takes the matter to the judiciary and loses.
Like Walker, Radley was sin binned for his offence, leaving Johns dumbfounded by the decision.
"What's he supposed to do there?" Johns asked.
"He hits and spins. If anything it is (Michael) Molo who causes the head clash because he hits and props and twists."
