Dragons<\/a> enforcer F\ufeffrancis Molo is set for a stint on the sidelines after being sin-binned for a high shot in the loss to the Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old was given his marching orders late in Sunday night's clash in Redcliffe, after his shoulder collected opposition prop Jarrod Wallace on the chin.<\/p>\n

Molo has been hit with a grade two careless high tackle charge and will miss one game with an early guilty plea, but risks an extra week if he fights the charge and loses.<\/p>\n

Hame Sele is expected to return from a hamstring injury next weekend, but Molo's absence means the Saints will again be understrength at a crucial time for the club as they take on a star-studded Cowboys outfit.<\/p>\n

Luciano Leilua<\/a> played his first game back at the club on Sunday night, coming off the bench, while Blake Lawrie made his way back into the side after a rib injury.<\/p>\n

Head coach Shane Flanagan<\/a> hinted at potential changes for round three, with the likes of Sione Finau and Ryan Couchman in line for a call-up after strong displays in NSW Cup.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
