Penrith punish rusty Roosters

Broncos and Kiwis prop Adam Blair is facing time on the pine after being issued with a Dangerous Contact Charge from Friday's test match loss to Australia.
Blair performed a "chicken wing" style tackle on Brisbane teammate and Australian opponent Sam Thaiday in the 62nd minute. He faces a week on the sideline if he takes the early plea, while a lost contest at the judiciary would see him miss two matches.
Samoa's Frank Pritchard has been referred to the RFL after a high tackle in his nation's win over Tonga. Pritchard plays for Super League club Hull FC.
