St George Illawarra forward Corey Payne has been unsuccessful in his bid to have a careless high tackle charge downgraded at the NRL judiciary.
The judiciary on Wednesday night confirmed Payne's shot on Newcastle winger James McManus at Oki Jubilee Stadium on Friday was a grade-three careless high tackle.
Payne will now serve a one-match suspension, ruling him out of Saturday's clash with North Queensland at WIN Stadium.
With Payne gone, i'd assume wicks will start at 12.
And the bench will be Peek, Hunt, Chase and Setu.
