Wests Tigers will be without second-row Isaiah Papali’i for Sunday’s match against Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs.

Papali’i was handed a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge for a tackle on Jack Johns in Sunday’s Round 2 match against Newcastle Knights at Leichhardt Oval.

The club has accepted an early guilty plea meaning Papali’i will miss one game.

Will Smith has also taken an early guilty plea after being charged with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle in Sunday’s NSW Cup match against the Knights. He too will serve a one match suspension.
