Titans forwards Tyrone Peachey and Herman Ese'ese have both taken early guilty pleas and will miss two and three weeks respectively.

Peachey was charged with a crusher tackle on Panther Liam Martin and will miss the clashes with the Bulldogs and Sharks, while Ese'ese copped a grade three careless high tackle charge after he was sent off on Sunday.

Canberra prop Josh Papalii is out of Origin I after accepting a three-game suspension while another nine players have been charged by the match review committee on Monday.

Dragons trio Josh McGuire, Mikaele Ravalawa and Tyrell Fuimaono accepted lengthy bans.

McGuire will miss five matches for dangerous contact for a hip-drop tackle on Storm winger Josh Addo-Carr, Ravalawa two matches for a grade-one shoulder charge while Fuimaono has received a five-game ban after he was pinged for a grade-one reckless charge for his high shot on Storm star Ryan Papenhuyzen.

Fuimaono was sent off for the tackle in the heavy loss to Melbourne.

St George Illawarra forward Tariq Sims has also been suspended for one game for a grade-two dangerous contact for a hip-drop on Melbourne utility Tyson Smoothy.

McGuire was also charged with a careless high tackle for his hit on Justin Olam, which was deemed a grade-one offence, which has earned him an inflated fine of $2600 due to his poor judiciary record.

"It must be said that our players don't intentionally go out to hurt the opposition. Our players' integrity should not be questioned in this respect," Dragons general manager Ben Haran said.

"After a detailed review and seeking advice on each individual matter we have decided to take the early guilty plea on each charge; given also the different loading and prior offences of each player as well as the change the game is currently undergoing."

Melbourne prop Christian Welch avoided a $2250 fine for dangerous contact on Blake Lawrie after successfully challenging the charge at the judiciary on Tuesday night.

Penrith duo Moses Leota and Dylan Edwards received fines for dangerous contact and contrary conduct respectively.

Edwards's charge arose from the aftermath of the tackle that resulted in Ese'ese being sent off.

Papalii was sent off for a high tackle on Tui Katoa and received a grade-three charge, which means the Raiders prop will miss three matches with his early plea. He risked a five-match ban if he was found guilty at the judiciary hearing.

He will be unavailable for Queensland for the State of Origin series opener on June 9.

Raiders duo Jack Wighton and Josh Hodgson will be joining Papalii on the sidelines this weekend following charges from Saturday's win over the Bulldogs.

Wighton submitted an early guilty plea to receive a one-match ban for a grade-two dangerous contact charge on Bulldogs forward Adam Elliott, while Hodgson will also miss a week for the same charge over a tackle on Luke Thompson.

Canterbury's Sione Katoa and Ava Seumanufagai, South Sydney's Jaydn Su'A and Dane Gagai, Roosters duo Sitili Tupouniua and Angus Crichton and Cowboys forward Lachlan Burr have accepted fines over careless high tackle or dangerous contact charges.

Broncos second-rower Jordan Riki also submitted a guilty plea for a crusher tackle on Manly's Haumole Olakau'atu on Friday night and will miss the next two rounds.

He was one of three Brisbane players charged from Friday's loss to the Sea Eagles, with the other two – Tevita Pangai jnr and Tyson Gamble – accepting fines.
