St George Illawarra winger Madison Bartlett has been suspended for one match after pleading guilty to a biting charge at the NRLW judiciary.
Bartlett was referred straight to the judiciary following an incident involving Parramatta's Sereana Naitokatoka in the first half of the Dragons' 10-0 win over the Eels in Wollongong on Sunday.
Naitokatoka tackled Bartlett, appearing to have her left arm wrapped across her opponent's face.
Bartlett claimed her actions were a "reflex clench" and not a voluntary action when Naitokatoka's arm made contact.
NRL counsellor Lachlan Giles sought a suspension of up to three weeks, but the judiciary panel decided Bartlett would only be banned for one match.
Bartlett will miss the Dragons' clash with three-time premiers Brisbane at the Western Sydney Stadium on Sunday.
The Dragons will also be without back rower Kody House, who accepted a one-match ban for a shoulder charge.
The Broncos and Dragons are the only two unbeaten teams following two rounds of the minor premiership.
