Wests Tigers winger Beau Ryan is facing a four-match ban after being charged with a crusher tackle during last night's 26-22 win over Manly.

Ryan was one of four players charged from the spiteful match, with Manly prop George Rose also looking at a stint on the sidelines for high tackle that resulted in him being sinbinned in the dying seconds of the game.

Rose faces a two-match ban but teammates Keiran Foran and Brent Kite will escape suspension after being charged with high shots.

Ryan will receive a three-match ban if enters an early guilty plea to the 65th minute tackle on Sea Eagles opposite Michael Robertson, or faces four weeks out if he unsuccesfully challenges the dangerous contact charge
