Brad Fittler and Darren Lockyer have taken aim at the NRL as St George Illawarra enforcer Tyson Frizell faces a one-match ban for touching a referee.

Frizell looks set to miss Thursday night's match against Brisbane after being cited for making contact with referee Chris James in his side's 13-10 loss to Canterbury.

Sydney Roosters, NSW and Australian legend Fittler accused the match review committee of being out of touch after Bulldogs five-eighth Josh Reynolds escaped suspension for a trip on Joel Thompson in the same game.
