Phil Gould has labelled the NRL judiciary system "flawed" as Sydney Roosters star Jared Waerea-Hargreaves appears set to miss a preliminary final for tripping.

Waerea-Hargreaves will fight his tripping charge at the judiciary on Tuesday night, looking to beat a suspension for the third time in two months.

The New Zealand international will deny sticking his leg out on South Sydney centre James Roberts in the Roosters' thumping qualifying final win last Friday.

Normally the charge would only attract a fine but because of Waerea-Hargreaves' checkered history, he doesn't qualify for a monetary penalty.
