Musgrove's shot on Fuimaono in the 35th minute of play resulted in the prop being sent to the sin bin and on Sunday was deemed a grade two shoulder charge by the NRL match review committee.
If the 24-year-old Musgrove takes an early guilty plea he'll miss two games while he faces a three-game ban if he contests the charge and is found guilty.
In another incident stemming from Saturday night's 10-all draw in the pre-season spectacle, Mugrove's Maori teammate Dallin Watene-Zelezniak was charged with a grade one careless high tackle on Alex Johnston.
Canterbury outside back Watene-Zelezniak can accept a $1350 fine with an early guilty plea.
