Wests Tigers forward Sauaso Sue will miss Sunday's NRL clash with Parramatta after copping a one-week ban for his raised knee last week.

Sue was hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge after his knee connected with Manly hooker Api Koroisau in the second half of their defeat.

Sea Eagles prop Darcy Lussick also took the $1350 fine after accepting an early guilty plea for his hair pull on Tigers front-rower Aaron Woods.

Lussick was stung with a grade one contrary conduct charge.

Canberra forward Josh Papalii will also be sidelined for two weeks following his shoulder charge on St George Illawarra fullback Josh Dugan.

His absence is a huge blow for the Raiders, who are four points out of the top eight in 10th spot ahead of Saturday's meeting with Melbourne.
