South Sydney prop Jaiman Lowe is facing a four-week NRL ban for his 'king hit' on Gold Coast centre Brett Delaney on Saturday night.
Lowe was hit with a grade five striking charge - the maximum grading allowable without the incident being referred straight to the judiciary - after being sent off for knocking Delaney senseless.
The incident occurred three minutes from full-time in the Titans' 25-18 win at Carrara Stadium.
The Rabbitohs front rower claimed he had been provoked into lashing out, accusing Delaney of grabbing him on the testicles.
Delaney was not charged over the incident.
