South Sydney’s George Burgess has accepted a two-match NRL ban after pleading guilty to a “chicken wing” tackle.

The English prop was hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge for placing unnecessary pressure on Manly centre Steve Matai’s arm and shoulder in Friday night’s 23-4 win.

Burgess, who will miss the Rabbitohs’ clashes with the Broncos and Cowboys, on Tuesday took the early plea, avoiding a potential three-week suspension.

Teammate Issac Luke also pleaded guilty to a grade-one dangerous contact charge, but will be free to play in Thursday’s clash with Brisbane.

Meanwhile, Parramatta and North Queensland have both booked a date with the NRL judiciary on Wednesday night after deciding to fight charges against two of their players.

The Eels’ Junior Paulo pleaded guilty to a dangerous throw charge, but will contest the level two grading on Wednesday night.

If unsuccessful, he risks at least a three-week suspension.

Cowboys forward Tariq Sims has also opted to challenge his grade one dangerous contact charge.

Sims has entered a not guilty plea to the tackle on the Wests Tigers’ Tim Simona in Saturday night’s 64-6 thrashing.

If successful, the back-rower will be free to play in Monday’s clash with Penrith.

However, if found guilty, he will cop a one-match ban.
