St George-Illawarra winger Mikaele Ravalawa has been suspended for four matches by the NSWRL judiciary after he was sent off for dissent in a NSW Cup match last Friday night.
Ravalawa fronted the judiciary panel on Thursday after being marched in the 77th minute against Parramatta for allegedly calling a match official a “c---”.
The incident occurred after the Eels were awarded the winning try with just two minutes left at WIN Stadium.
Relegated from the Dragons NRL squad for a second consecutive match, the powerful winger’s battle back into first grade has been further jeopardised in the wake of the indiscretion that has resulted in four weeks on the sidelines.
