The Warriors could be faced with a hooker crisis, with utility Jazz Tevaga to front the NRL's judiciary this week with a dangerous contact charge.

With Issac Luke and Nathaniel Roache already out injured, Tevaga could be handed a one week ban by the judiciary, having been charged for a grade one dangerous tackle against Titans prop Shannon Boyd in the Warriors' 26-10 victory over the Gold Coast.

Tevaga has already been charged with a similar offence in the past two years, possibly resulting in a one match suspension if found guilty.

Any possible suspension for Tevaga would leave Karl Lawton as the only hooker in the Warriors' senior squad.
