Bulldogs prop Jack Hetherington has accepted a five match NRL suspension after being sent off in his side's loss to the Cowboys

He was charged with a grade three high tackle involving fullback Valentine Holmes.

The grade three charge would have normally only attracted a three week ban, but a poor record bumped it up to five weeks - even with the early guilty plea.
