North Queensland forward Coen Hess is set to miss his team's final game of the NRL regular season against Penrith after being charged for his hit on South Sydney's Campbell Graham.
Hess was sinbinned in the 74th minute of Saturday night's 20-10 loss after he rushed out of the line and hit Graham hard, sparking a melee as the Rabbitohs centre lay dazed.
The Cowboys forward was handed a grade-two careless high tackle charge on Sunday despite his coach Todd Payten insisting Hess didn't make contact with Graham's head.
