Eels’ Jennings set for week on sidelines

Parramatta’s Michael Jennings is set to miss his side’s NRL clash with Canterbury after being charged for an ugly high shot on Isaah Yeo.

Jennings has been cited by the match review committee for a grade two high tackle which left the Panthers skipper dazed and forced him from the field in the Eels’ 20-12 upset victory on Sunday.

The Eels centre was sin-binned for the second half incident, which allowed the Panthers to claw their way back into the game, but was still charged.

He will miss one week even with an early guilty plea and his only hope of playing is if he fights the charge at the judiciary and wins.

Meanwhile, Penrith’s Waqa Blake has been hit with a $1350 fine after being charged with contrary conduct for pushing Eels playmaker Mitchell Moses in back play.
