Panthers forward Scott Sorensen’s challenge at the NRL Judiciary has been unsuccessful.
Sorensen was cited for a shoulder charge on Nathan Brown in the 33rd minute of the Round 8 match against the Sea Eagles.
The Judiciary upheld the original Grade 2 charge, and as a result, Sorensen will serve a three-match suspension.
He will be unavailable for Sunday’s Magic Round clash against the Broncos, as well as matches against the Cowboys and Knights.
