Bulldogs enforcers Dylan Napa and Jack Hetherington are both facing stints on the sidelines over three separate incidents in yesterday's loss against the Wests Tigers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Napa will be suspended for three weeks if he enters early guilty pleas for dangerous contact on James Tamou and a high tackle on Thomas Mikaele, while Hetherington will cop a two week suspension for the high tackle on Alex Twal that put him in the sin bin to finish yesterday's game, despite claims that the sin binning was over the top and he was only marched due to his poor reputation with officials.<\/p>\n

If Napa chooses to roll the dice at the judiciary his season could be over, with a four game suspension looming if he pleads not guilty to both charges and loses.<\/p>\n

Hetherington would cop a three-week ban if he fights the grade one careless high tackle charge and loses.<\/p>\n

Bulldogs fans are likely to feel particularly aggrieved by the Hetherington charge due to the commentary around his tackle on Twal yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"That's harsh," Bulldogs skipper Josh Jackson told referee Chris Butler when Hetherington got his marching orders, with legendary front-rower Steve Roach agreeing in commentary.<\/p>\n

"As least he wears his heart on his sleeve, he's trying to do his best, trying to lift his teammates," Roach said.<\/p>\n

Smith added: "The problem for him, as we've mentioned every time he goes around now, is he only has to sneeze."<\/p>\n

Fox League commentator Warren Smith added: "The problem for him, as we've mentioned every time he goes around now, is he only has to sneeze."<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs face the Warriors this Sunday afternoon in a game they must win to be any chance of avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon. While their front-row stocks look set to be depleted, the Warriors will also need to go to their reserves after falling into Will Chambers' trap on Saturday, with both Kane Evans and Matt Lodge facing suspensions for incidents involving the Sharks centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n
