Broncos’ Jordan Riki is set to miss the next two games due to a high tackle on Jack Bostock during his team’s victory over the Dolphins on Friday night.
Riki was officially reported just before the break, and on Saturday he received a grade two careless high tackle charge.
If he chooses to contest the charge at the judiciary and is unsuccessful, he will face an additional match suspension.
The incident occurred when Riki made contact with Bostock’s head immediately after Adam Reynolds had taken the Dolphins winger down low. In commentary for Nine, Andrew Johns noted that the initial impact from Reynolds altered Bostock’s movement into Riki’s head.
