Taniela Tupou receives two-week ban for head butting

'Thongan Thor' has been given a two-week suspension for head butting Liam Messam at the Brisbane Tens.

"The judicial officer determined the event was a red card event," a statement read.

"Tupou accepted a head contact occurred. The decision was a lower entry level (four weeks), discounted 50% for an unblemished playing record and extenuating circumstances in the incident, hence two weeks."

He is suspended up to and including all matches until February 25.
