Cronulla forward Briton Nikora has been charged with a grade-one dangerous throw charge from Thursday's NRL win over Penrith.

Cronulla second-rower Briton Nikora is facing a one-game NRL ban for a dangerous throw on Penrith counterpart Viliame Kikau on Thursday.

Nikora was on Friday hit with a grade-one dangerous throw charge that normally attracts a 100-point base penalty.

However a previous offence in the last two years means the rookie will miss next week's clash against Brisbane unless he beats the charge at the judiciary.

Think. Is this a bet you really want to place?
