Junior Paulo has been suspended for nine matches after failing to have a grade three dangerous throw charge downgraded at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday night.

Parramatta forward Paulo pleaded guilty over the tackle on Manly’s Matt Ballin in the 29th minute of the Eels’ 42-12 win over the Sea Eagles on Friday.

He won’t be available again until Parramatta’s round 11 match with South Sydney at ANZ Stadium.
