St George Illawarra winger Jordan Pereira has taken the early guilty plea after being cited for a grade three careless high tackle charge following the Dragons' 20-8 win over the Gold Coast Titans on Saturday.

Pereira was charged for his hit on Corey Thompson, which rubbed the new Titans fullback out for the remainder of the game.

Pereira has been suspended for two weeks as a result.
