Penrith Panthers forward Viliame Kikau has been charged with dangerous contact by the NRL Match Review Committee following Saturday's 16-10 defeat to the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Kikau received a grade one charge for contact on Rabbitohs forward Jaydn Su'A in the 25th minute of the Qualifying Final in Townsville.

He faces a monetary penalty only and is free to play for the Panthers this week in the sudden death semi-final.

Isaah Yeo and Liam Martin, who were penalised for crusher tackles by referee Gerard Sutton, are also available for selection after being cleared by the NRL Match Review Committee.

The Panthers face the Eels at 9.50pm Saturday while the Roosters meet the Sea Eagles at 9.50pm Friday.
