Melbourne centre Curtis Scott will miss the next two games after striking Dylan Walker during their side's clash on Saturday night.

The NRL match committee charged Scott on Sunday with a grade-three stirking charge for hitting Walker, and if he challenges, could miss three games.

Manly hooker Apisai Koroisau was handed a one-match ban with an early guilty plea or a maximum two games.

The Storm released a statement on Twitter in regards to Scott's massive hit.

Walker is expected to miss the next six weeks with a fractured eye socket.

In addition to the current charges, the NRL match review committee will be studying the 52nd-minute scuffle that involved up to 12 players.
