Josh Papali'i accepts a one-week suspension for a high tackle, missing the Raiders' match against Cronulla Sharks.
Josh Papali'i will miss the Raiders' clash with the Cronulla Sharks at Canberra Stadium after accepting a one-week ban.
The Canberra veteran has entered an early guilty plea after being charged with a grade two careless high tackle charge in the Raiders' loss to Canterbury on Thursday night.
Papali'i ran the risk of spending two weeks on the sidelines if he fought the charge and lost, instead opting to cop a one-week suspension.
The 33-year-old's absence leaves a gap in Canberra's forward pack for the second time in the opening month of the season, after Papali'i missed round two due to a concussion.
