Leilua can fight the charge, but could miss six matches if he's found guilty.

The 28-year-old was earlier involved in a shoving match with Penrith No.9 Api Koroisau, who was penalised for a high shot on Leilua's brother Luciano. Video replays showed Luciano was falling in the tackle, but was concussed as a result of the incident and needed to be helped from the field.

Koroisau escaped penalty from the match review committee, as did Tigers back-rower Luke Garner, who was involved in another skirmish with Edwards which resulted in both teams rushing to a melee right on full-time.

Former Tigers coach Ivan Cleary was seen to be blowing kisses and pointing at the scoreboard after full-time following heckling from rival fans.
