Video: Taupau faces one-week ban for high shot

Manly's Martin Taupau faces a one-week suspension for his high shot on Cronulla's Jack Bird.

Taupau was charged with a grade two careless high tackle for his hit on the Sharks centre in the Sea Eagles' 22-12 win at Brookvale Oval.

The former Wests Tigers player has a poor judiciary record and was banned for three matches last season for a swinging arm on James Maloney.

Bird left the field with concussion and didn't return.

Taupau later took to Twitter to apologise for this tackle.
