Dragons forward Beau Scott will miss the first two matches of the 2010 season, after pleading guilty to a dangerous throw charge in his side's 24-10 loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

Scott's grade one dangerous throw charge for his 77th minute tackle on Brisbane's Tonie Carroll attracted a one-game ban, but 60 carry-over points from previous judiciary appearances means he'll miss two games.

Titans forward Sam Tagataese entered an early guilty plea for his late hit on Eels rookie Daniel Mortimer on Friday night, but will not miss any games next season.

The former Melbourne backrower was hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge, which only attracts a 75-point penalty with the early plea.

As they indicated on Monday night, Brisbane submitted an early guilty plea for Karmichael Hunt's grade on tripping charge, meaning he's free to play against the Storm at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

The decision to enter the early plea leaves Hunt with 56 carry-over points hanging over his head, leaving him in danger of missing the Grand Final if he attracts any sort of charge on Saturday and the Broncos can down the Storm.
