South Sydney Rabbitohs fullback Latrell Mitchell has received a three-week ban for elbowing the Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson in the face last weekend.
Mitchell pleaded guilty to a grade-two dangerous contact charge following his side's 34-4 defeat in Sydney, which left the Rabbitohs last on the ladder with just one win from five games.
He will miss the Rabbitohs' games against the Sharks, the Storm and the Panthers.
Meanwhile, the Roosters winger Dom Young has pleaded guilty to a careless high tackle charge and will miss two matches.
Young was the first player sent off this season following the 27th-minute high tackle on Blake Taaffe last Friday night.
The England winger will miss the next two games against the Knights and Storm before being available for the Anzac Day match against the Dragons.
The Dolphins utility Kurt Donoghoe has also copped a two-game ban after pleading guilty to a high tackle on Wests Tigers player Fainu Samuela in his side's 26-16 win last Saturday in Brisbane.
Looking at this week’s matches, the Knights will take on the Roosters at 9.50pm Thursday, the Storm will meet the Bulldogs at 8pm Friday, the Broncos will play the Dolphins at 10pm Friday, the Warriors will face the Sea Eagles at 5pm Saturday, the Eels will play the Cowboys at 7.30pm Saturday, the Rabbitohs will take on the Sharks at 9.35pm Saturday, the Wests Tigers will meet the Dragons at 6.05pm Sunday, and the Raiders will face the Titans at 8.15pm Sunday.
