Brisbane Broncos star forward Patrick Carrigan will miss the club's preliminary final after accepting the early guilty plea for a Grade 2 careless high tackle.
The forward, charged out of Sunday afternoon's game for a tackle on Canberra middle forward Morgan Smithies that saw him sent to the sin bin, could have risked a second game - potentially the grand final - by fighting at the judiciary.
Elsewhere, Reece Walsh was fined twice, and players from the Canterbury Bulldogs, Penrith Panthers and Canberra Raiders are also lighter in the hip pocket following the opening weekend of finals action.
