Panthers hooker Mitch Kenny's set to miss at least two NRL matches after being cited for grade two dangerous contact in last night's 40-12 win over the Roosters

The incident occurred in the fourth minute with Kenny the third man in - dropping his hip during a tackle on Nat Butcher.

Butcher was forced from the field with a knee injury.

Kenny will miss three matches if he unsuccessfully fights the charge at the judiciary.

Broncos hooker Billy Walters has copped a $1,000 fine with an early guilty plea for a crusher tackle on Warriors centre Ali Leiataua.
