St George-Illawarra winger Mikaele Ravalawa has been referred straight to the NSWRL judiciary after he was sent off for dissent in a NSW Cup match last Friday night.

Ravalawa will face the judiciary on Thursday after being marched in the 77th minute against Parramatta for allegedly calling a match official a “c---”.

The incident occured after the Eels were awarded the winning try with just two minutes left at WIN Stadium.

Ravalawa scored a try in the Dragons 18-14 loss to the Eels.

Relegated from the Dragons NRL squad for a second consecutive match, the powerful winger’s battle back into first grade could be in further jeopardy in the wake of the indiscretion.
