Eels lock Nathan Brown has copped a two-game suspension after being found guilty of high tackle offence at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday.
Brown was charged with a grade-two careless high tackle over a 64th-minute hit on Roosters lock Victor Radley in Saturday night’s loss by Parramatta at Bankwest Stadium.
The Eels star, who has two non-similar offences over the past two years, sought a downgrade of the charge after entering an early guilty plea, but has received a two-match ban.

How are yours and Poppa's Clark Gable re-runs going?
Good old Rocky baby! Ooh la la!
Up beat me to it. What a joke hey and where playing Canberra this week. Nrl so want Canberra to succeed
Seriously brown needs to also be responsible .
his reputation also makes him a walking target - someone needs to get him out of his NIDA classes
👍
Disgraceful
Ive rewatched that tackle like 20 times, there was F all in it. Careless if anything, zero malice
Oh well, we are at risk now. No Brown, no Evans, suddenly our bench looks very skinny. We need bigger minutes from the starting 13 and hope to god we don't get any injuries.
They never said it would be easy winning a comp - the nrl loves to make it that little bit tougher for us.
Sought a downgrade of the charge after an early guilty plea... WTF!
It would have been well worth the club spending the money (on the best NRL Lawyer) to fight this charge.
Wow!
Do we have a genuine policy at the club to not use the high priced lawyers, that other clubs use.
Oh Dr, I don't know, that's why I asked the question, a more apt word would have been profile instead of priced.
I just found it, they used Lawyer Nick Ghabar, the same lawyer that got Billy Slater cleared from his shoulder charge charges to play the grand final.
