Rugby League sensation Latrell Mitchell is staring down the barrel of a potentially lengthy spell on the sidelines after an "unwise" incident in the clash against the Warriors.
The South Sydney star has been hit with a dangerous contact charge following a clash with Warriors' playmaker Shaun Johnson.
In a moment that had fans and commentators alike shaking their heads, Mitchell's elbow seemed to connect with Johnson's head as he attempted a tackle.
To make matters worse, he was also reprimanded for a lifting tackle on Tohu Harris.
Penrith legend Greg Alexander didn't mince his words, describing Mitchell's actions as "obvious" and questioning the star's decision-making on the field.

The incident has sparked debate among fans and experts, with many calling for a strong stance to be taken against the talented but controversial player.
As Mitchell awaits his fate, the Rugby League community is left to ponder the impact of his actions and what it means for his future on the field.
Will this serve as a wake-up call for the star player, or will he continue to court controversy in a sport that demands discipline and respect? Only time will tell.
