Eels' Ma'u faces one-match NRL ban

Parramatta forward Manu Ma'u is facing a one-match NRL ban for a dangerous throw on Gold Coast playmaker Ash Taylor in the Titans' win on Saturday.

Ma'u was hit with a grade one by the NRL match review committee on Sunday.

He is set to miss the beleagured Eels' derby clash with Wests Tigers on Saturday unless he successfully contests the charge.

The Warriors' Bunty Afoa was the only other player charged on Sunday.

He won't miss a game if he takes the early guilty plea for grade one dangerous contact with the head or neck of Josh Hodgson in Canberra's golden point win.
