There'll be one less star lighting up Magic Round with spellbinding Titans second-rower David Fifita suspended for two games after failing at the judiciary on Tuesday night.
The barnstorming forward, who tuned into the hearing by video and was represented by Titans high performance senior advisor Mal Meninga, tried to have a grade-two careless high tackle charge downgraded so he could face the undefeated Panthers on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium.
But after just 20 minutes of deliberation the judiciary panel - Ben Creagh, Sean Garlick and Bob Lindner - decided that Fifita's shot on Adam Doueihi late in Saturday's 36-28 win over the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium warranted its initial grading.
