Panthers player Jack Cogger has been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following the Round 18 match against the Rabbitohs at CommBank Stadium.

Cogger received a grade two careless high tackle charge for contact on Rabbitohs player Ashton Ward in the 75th minute.

As it is his second offence this season, Cogger faces a two-match suspension with an early guilty plea. If he elects to challenge the charge and is unsuccessful, he faces a three-match suspension.
