Sharkies forward Siosifa Talakai has copped a suspension and will be sidelined for the upcoming showdown against the Tigers after a bit of argy-bargy with Titans' Sam Verrills.
The incident saw Talakai cop a Grade 2 charge for a high tackle, resulting in a stint in the sin bin during the Sharks' recent clash with the Titans.
While it's a blow for the Sharks to lose Talakai for the Tigers match, he's decided to take the early guilty plea to avoid a potential two-game ban.
But fear not, shark fans, as Talakai will be back in action when the boys take on the Cowboys in Townsville after the bye in Round 20.
It's a tough break for Talakai, but that's the nature of the game.
In Rugby League, you win some, you lose some.
But one thing's for sure - the Sharkies will be eager to bounce back and show their bite once Talakai is back on the field.
