St George Illawarra<\/a> forward Francis Molo is facing 4-5 weeks on the sideline for his nasty hit on Titans<\/a> winger Patrick Herbert.<\/p>\n

The Dragons were leading by just four points with the game in the balance<\/a>, when Molo was sent off for the coathanger on Herbert in the 63rd minute.<\/p>\n

Herbert took no further part in the match. The match review committee slapped Molo with a grade three careless high tackle charge.<\/p>\n

Molo's prior offences mean he will spend four matches on the sidelines if he accepts an early plea, or five if he fights the charge and loses.<\/p>\n

Molo appeared to be immediately remorseful for the hit. He immediately extended his arm to apologise to Herbert.<\/p>\n

"Gee, that's a bad one," legendary hardman Steve Roach said on Fox League commentary.<\/p>\n

"Honestly, the way the game is now, that's a send off, he's hit him flush on the chin."<\/p>\n

Despite being a man down, the Dragons went on to score another three tries to defeat a hopeless Titans outfit 46-26.<\/p>\n
