Judiciary Update: Kennar & Mitchell Charged Following Round 15

Following the Round 15 game against the Broncos, Rabbitohs players Richie Kennar and Latrell Mitchell have been charged by the NRL’s Match Review Committee.

Richie Kennar has been charged with a grade one careless high tackle. This being his first offence of the type, Kennar has the option to take a $1,000 fine with an early guilty plea. However, if found guilty without an early plea, the fine will increase to $1,500. A not guilty verdict would carry no penalty.

Meanwhile, Latrell Mitchell has been charged with grade one contrary conduct, marking his third and subsequent offence. Mitchell faces a $3,000 fine if he opts for an early guilty plea. Should Mitchell contest the charge and be found guilty, he will be suspended for two matches. A not guilty verdict would carry no penalty.

Kennar and Mitchell have taken the early guilty pleas and will each pay their respective fines.
