Kenny charged with dangerous contact
Panthers hooker Mitch Kenny has been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following Saturday night’s win over the Roosters.
www.penrithpanthers.com.auHere are the latest updates I can share based on recent reporting:
- Mitch Kenny, the Penrith Panthers hooker, was charged in April 2025 for a dangerous contact incident during a game against the Roosters and accepted an early guilty plea, resulting in a suspension of two matches. This followed a fourth-minute tackle on Nat Butcher that led to Butcher’s knee issue.[1][2]
- In 2026, there were injury updates relating to Kenny from the Panthers/NRL outlets, with coach and medical updates referenced in April 2026 coverage, though specific injury details vary by report. For example, an April 2026 update from NRL.com mentions Mitch Kenny injury news without detailing the exact condition.[4]
- Ongoing coverage through mid-2026 includes player profiles and news aggregating Kenny’s status, with sites like Zero Tackle providing career, injury, and news roundups as of May 2026.[5]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest articles from today and summarize any new developments, or filter for your preferred source (NRL.com, Panthers official site, or major news outlets). Would you like me to do that?
