North Queensland utility Anthony Watts is facing one week on the sidelines after being charged with a grade one dangerous throw by the NRL's match review committee.

Watts lifted Parramatta captain Nathan Cayless in the 79th minute of the Monday night clash, and is facing a week's suspension should he take the early guilty plea or fight the charge and lose.

Cronulla captain Trent Barrett was the only other player charged from the weekend's matches, however he'll be free to line up against Manly on Saturday night.

Barrett was charged with grade one tripping, but escapes suspension with the early guilty plea.
