JAMES Graham faces up to five weeks on the sidelines and David Klemmer could be banned for four weeks following the Bulldogs' moments of madness on Good Friday.
Graham was hit by the NRL's match review committee with two separate charges stemming from the dramatic finish to the Dogs' dramatic loss to the Rabbitohs.
He was hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge for his controversial challenge on Adam Reynolds when the Souths halfback was attempting a late field goal. Reynolds faces up to five months out with a serious knee injury.
Graham was also slapped with a grade three contrary conduct charge for confronting referee Gerard Sutton, who penalised the Bulldogs skipper for the challenge.

Klemmer, who was sin-binned by Sutton for dissent, was also hit with a grade three contrary conduct charge.
If Graham pleads guilty to both charges he will miss four weeks, but if he opts to fight them and loses he'll spend five weeks on the sidelines.
Klemmer will miss three weeks with an early guilty plea due to carry-over points and faces four weeks out if he fights the charge at the NRL judiciary and loses.
Should James Graham and David Klemmer fight the charges?
Meanwhile, Josh Morris has escaped suspension for his part in the Isaac Luke eight-point try but Sam Kasiano has been charged with dangerous contact and faces a three-week suspension. It could be reduced to two weeks with an early guilty plea.
A further dissent charge for Michael Lichaa rounds out a extensive wrap sheet for the Dogs, although the hooker will avoid suspension with an early guilty plea.

Rabbitohs prop George Burgess was also charged with grade one dangerous contact on Josh Jackson and will be suspended for one match regardless of his plea.
Roosters forward Aidan Guerra was charged for a dangerous throw on Chris Heighington and will miss a week, however he has already been diagnosed with a fractured cheekbone and would have already been unavailable for selection.
Jordan Rapana is also facing a week's suspension due to carry-over points, but Michael Jennings will avoid suspension with an early guilty plea after both were charged with grade one careless high tackles.
