Experienced Sharks forward Holli Wheeler will miss Sunday's semi-final against the Broncos in Brisbane after taking the early guilty plea for a Grade 2 careless high tackle charge.
The prop was sin-binned in the first half of last Thursday's loss to the Wests Tigers for a shot on Sarah Togatuki.
Despite it being the first offence of this nature on her record, Wheeler faced a two-week suspension if she challenged at the judiciary and lost.
She will be available if the Sharks advance to the grand final.
