Taumalolo was hit with a Grade 2 dangerous contact charge from the NRL Judiciary, which will see him miss three games should he take an early guilty plea. If he fights the charge but fails to overturn the decision at the judiciary panel, he will be handed a four-game ban.
The hefty suspension is due to his previous record of on-field indiscretions, but could have been even longer, had the NRL ruled it a shoulder charge rather than a dangerous contact charge.
