FORMER Queensland and Australia forward Dave Taylor’s debut Super League season could be over after the Catalans Dragons star was charged with eye-gouging and a dangerous throw.

The former Gold Coast, Brisbane and South Sydney player is accused of making a dangerous throw on second rower Dean Hadley during the Dragons’ 44-0 Super League defeat at Hull last Thursday.

It is a grade B offence which normally carries a ban of one-to-two matches but, more seriously, Taylor is accused of gouging St Helens fullback Jonny Lomax during the Catalans’ previous game against Saints at Langtree Park, which carries a ban of between four-and-eight matches.

Taylor, who is likely to be sidelined for a spell with a broken rib sustained in last Thursday’s match, is not eligible for an early guilty plea after he served a one-match ban earlier in the season for a dangerous throw and will face a hearing on Tuesday.

Meanwhile Wakefield prop David Fifita is facing a grade B offence for a high tackle on Widnes fullback Rhys Hanbury in Sunday’s 40-8 defeat by the Vikings.
