Jason Taumalolo will miss North Queensland's NRL game against Cronulla after he pleaded guilty to a shoulder charge offence.

He was charged for his hit on Brisbane winger Jamayne Isaako in Thursday night's win over the Broncos and on Monday pleaded guilty to the grade-one offence.

With an early guilty plea he will miss just the one match, however, it comes as a significant blow given the Sharks boast a representative pack.

Elsewhere, Penrith enforcer Jack Hetherington will miss two games for his high tackle on the Gold Coast's AJ Brimson after he took an early guilty plea.

The suspension is the third of his NRL career, despite having played 12 games.
