Penrith Panthers hooker Mitch Kenny has accepted an early guilty plea after being charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following Saturday night’s Round 4 clash against the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium.

Kenny was hit with a grade two dangerous contact charge for an incident involving Eels fullback Isaiah Iongi in the second half of the match.

By taking the early plea, Kenny will serve a one-match suspension, ruling him out of this week's game against the Melbourne Storm.
