South Sydney centre Richard Kennar is facing a three-to-four match ban for a high tackle on winger Luke Laulilii in the Rabbitohs’ loss to Wests Tigers.

The match review committee on Sunday hit Kennar with a grade two careless high tackle charge, which was his third and subsequent offence.

Kennar can take a three-game suspension with an early guilty plea or risk a four-match ban if he fights the charge and loses at the judiciary.

Rabbitohs are also facing the prospect of playing without halfback Cody Walker who was taken from the field after a heavy head knock.
