The severity of Anthony Tupou's broken jaw has swayed the Warriors to not contest Konrad Hurrell's suspension.
The centre will miss three NRL matches after the club decided to take an early guilty plea for his collision with the Sharks forward.
The incident has again raised questions of whether the NRL should take injury into account when deciding a suspension.
Warriors managing director Jim Doyle says they would never be able to successfully contest it with the state that Tupou is in.
"Like most people we were very conscious of the injury Anthony Tupou had from it and felt like it was more appropriate for us not to contest it," Doyle says.
"How would you feel that a player got a one week ban, while the player who got injured is now out for the rest of the season?"
Hurrell had been warned about his actions in the past.
"We had received that feedback last year in regards to Konrad," Doyle says. "That's something obviously he's conscious of and working on."
Doyle says coach Andrew McFadden will draw up a special training regime for Hurrell, who has struggled for form when coming back from time off.
