Agnatius Paasi is staring down the barrel of a two-match suspension after making dangerous contact with Dragons star Corey Norman. 

The incident occurred during the 42nd minute of the Warriors clash with St George Illawarra when Norman was kicking.

The Warriors are already depleted in the forwards after being hit with numerous injuries before the season restart.

Relying on goodwill from other clubs, the Warriors are attempting to alleviate their personnel woes through loan players.

One such deal that has already taken place is the four-week loan of Roosters forward Poasa Fa'amausili who is set to join the Warriors squad this week.

The Warriors face the Panthers on Friday night before playing the Cowboys a week later.
