Rabbitohs' Knight charged for chicken wing

South Sydney forward Liam Knight has been hit with a grade-two dangerous contact charge for his chicken-wing tackle on Thursday.

South Sydney forward Liam Knight is facing a maximum two-week ban for his chicken-wing tackle in Thursday's NRL win over St George Illawarra.

Knight has been hit with a grade-two dangerous contact charge for his tackle on James Graham, but can miss just one match with an early guilty plea.

Knight's absence would test the depth of a Rabbitohs side missing George Burgess until round four due to his own suspension.
