Latrell Mitchell will accept a six-week ban that ends his 2021 season for the reckless high tackle that left former teammate Joey Manu requiring a facial reconstruction.
South Sydney officials have told NRL.com the club intends to accept early guilty pleas for both Mitchell and forward Liam Knight, who will miss two weeks for dangerous contact on Siosiua Taukeiaho.
Knight will be available again for the Rabbitohs for their second finals match.
Previous offences by Mitchell had seen what would have been a four-week suspension for the high contact on Manu bumped up by carry-over points to a six-week ban.
