The Raiders will head to the NRL judiciary tomorrow night to dispute the grading of forward Tom Learoyd-Lahrs's dangerous throw charge.

The big forward was hit with a grade four charge which would have earned him a five-week stint on the sidelines. He faces a seven-week ban if he is unsuccessful at the judiciary.

Tigers' forward Corey Payne is facing a one-week suspension for making unneccessary contact with the head in last night's match against the Eels.

Broncos hooker Michael Ennis and Melbourne's Sika Manu have escaped bans with early guilty pleas.
