Toleafoa, again on report for a shoulder charge, will be one of two players fronting the panel on Thursday night.
Eight players from across the first-grade competition were charged following round-13 fixtures on the weekend.
The 25-year-old lined up in his eighth NSW Cup outing for the Knights this year (July 7) before returning to Lakes in Saturday's 38-24 loss to Souths at Townson Oval.
Entrance hooker Joey Besgrove faces a month on the sidelines if he's found guilty by the judiciary, questioning the severity of his grade-two charge for a crusher tackle in Sunday's 20-all draw with Cessnock.
Central front-rower Daniel Melmouth was given a two-match ban for dangerous contact in Saturday's narrow 26-24 loss to the Pickers at Maitland Sportsground.
Entrance prop Toby Key landed one game for dangerous contact and now won't be available to return until August 3 with the Tigers having a bye this weekend.
Kodi Crowther (Macquarie), Lewis Hamilton (Souths), Ky Hopwood and Lathan Hutchinson-Walters (Wyong) all walked away with warnings.
LADDER: Maitland 21; Souths 20; Entrance, Cessnock 17; Central 16; Wests 13; Wyong 12; Lakes 11; Macquarie 6; Northern 4; Kurri Kurri 3.
