Jaydn Su'A has been handed a three-match suspension by the Match Review Centre after being sent off during their 30-12 loss to South Sydney.

During the match on Saturday afternoon at Accor Stadium, the forward laid a shoulder charge on Cam Murray at the 69th minute, which made contact with Murray's head.

The incident is graded as a Category 3 charge.

The suspension could go up to four matches if an unsuccessful appeal is made.

This will see him miss St George Illawarra's ANZAC Day clash against Sydney, alongside their games against the Knights and the Panthers.

Su'a becomes the first player sent off since Justin Olam in Round 22, 2024.

It adds further pain to the already struggling Dragons, who slumped to an 11th straight loss dating back to the end of last season.

Su'a has signed a three-year contract with the Parramatta Eels starting from next season, bringing to an end his five-year stint with the Dragons.

The Dragons will also be without hooker Jacob Liddle after he was ruled out in the warm-up with a hamstring injury.

Canberra Raiders' second rower Hudson Young is also facing two weeks on the sideline for a Grade 2 careless high tackle in the 78th minute of their win over the Storm.

Dolphins' half Kodi Nikorima is also facing two weeks suspended, copping a Grade 3 dangerous contact charge for a tackle on Mitch Kenny, which will see the Panthers' hooker miss 8-12 weeks with an ankle fracture.
