RISING Wests Tigers star Mitchell Moses has been banned for two matches for breaking the NRL's anti-vilification policy.
The nephew of Balmain great Ben Elias yesterday admitted calling an opposition player a "f...ing gay c..." during last weekend's under-20s State of Origin match at Penrith.
And in further drama, NSW forward Matt Lodge is facing a two to three-game suspension for detrimental conduct after writing a vulgar word on his arm strapping.
Moses, representing NSW, made the homophobic slur against Queensland and Canberra player Luke Bateman.
He will be forced to attend an anti-vilification education and awareness program.
The NRL interviewed Bateman, who asked that the matter be dropped. But the game's match review committee pressed ahead and suspended Moses.
Moses visited League Central yesterday to apologise to NRL officials and Bateman.
The Wests Tigers weren't commenting yesterday, stating Moses was representing NSW at the time.
"Luke is a bit embarrassed by all the attention," Canberra chief executive Don Furner said. "He thinks it laughable because what happens on the field, stays on the field.

"As far as Luke is concerned, he has no issues."
NRL head of football Todd Greenberg said his organisation wanted to send a clear message to Moses.
"The NRL has consistently made it clear that there is no place for any form of discrimination in our game and we will take firm action if it occurs," Greenberg said.
Lodge, meanwhile, is facing a two-game ban if he pleads guilty to detrimental conduct.
He will be asked today by his club side Melbourne to explain his actions. Lodge was also hit with a grade one striking charge for a separate incident. If he enters early guilty pleas to both charges he will face a three-match ban.
