THE Broncos will accept the early-guilty plea on Tevita Pangai junior’s careless high-tackle charge today.

It means Pangai will miss the Broncos’ blockbuster with the Storm at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night, but ensures he will not incur a two-week suspension.

Pangai was sin binned and also charged for contact on Titans’ winger Phillip Sami, who ducked into the tackle after catching a bomb.

After Pangai was given the grade-two charge yesterday there was the opportunity to fight for a downgrade that if successful could have allowed him to play this week.

However the danger was that if unsuccessful, Pangai would also have missed the match against the Cowboys in Townsville next Thursday.

The Broncos do have some cover returning in Pangai’s position, with Both Matt Gillett (back injury) and Thomas Flegler (suspension) set to go on Friday.
