Panthers player Jack Cogger will miss the next two matches after entering an early guilty plea for a charge arising from the Round 18 match against the Rabbitohs at CommBank Stadium.

Cogger was charged by the NRL Match Review Committee with a grade two high tackle on Rabbitohs player Ashton Ward in the 75th minute.

As it is his second offence this season, the early guilty plea carries a two-match suspension.

Cogger will be unavailable for selection for the club’s next two fixtures.
