Viliame Kikau will miss Penrith Panther's preliminary final against either Parramatta Eels or South Sydney Rabbitohs next week after being found guilty of a grade one dangerous throw charge at the NRL judiciary last night.
He was charged over a lifting tackle on Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and now needs Panthers to make the grand final to be able to play again this year.
Kikau says he is disappointed with the outcome, but he respects the decision of the NRL Judiciary.
He says he can now focus on doing everything he can at training to help the team prepare for the Preliminary Final.
In the NRL semifinals this week, the Roosters will take on the Raiders at 8.50pm this Friday while the Eels will take on the Rabbitohs at 8.50pm this Saturday.
