Brisbane lock Pat Carrigan will miss the preliminary final after pleading guilty to a charge.

The Canberra Times

Brisbane lock Pat Carrigan is out of their preliminary final after the club decided it was not worth the risk to challenge his charge at the judiciary.

The Broncos have taken an early guilty plea for the grade-two dangerous tackle charge, resulting from Carrigan's high shot on Canberra forward Morgan Smithies in the 29-28 win over the Raiders in the qualifying final.

Carrigan, who was sin-binned, will miss Sunday-week's preliminary final at Suncorp Stadium against either Canterbury or Penrith but will be available for the grand final if the Broncos make it through.

Karyn Murphy is poised to welcome back Georgia Grey from HIA protocols, presenting the Titans coach with a selection challenge ahead of this weekend's elimination final against the Knights.

After missing last weekend's victory over the Raiders due to concussion, the 20-year-old is anticipated to be available for selection, creating an intriguing situation for Murphy, especially following the return of winger Destiny Mino-Sinapati from a lengthy ankle injury last Saturday.

Additionally, outside back Phoenix-Raine Hippi, a Queensland Under 19 talent, has been impressive since her debut in Round 6, scoring seven tries in six matches, making her a formidable contender for a spot in the lineup.
