Mitch Kenny faces a prolonged recovery after a tackle by Kodi Nikorima, who is suspended for two matches. Hudson Young also receives a two-match suspension.

The heartbreak of the Dolphins' extra-time loss to Penrith will ripple for two more weeks as Kodi Nikorima faces suspension for the tackle that hospitalised Mitch Kenny.

It comes as Canberra's Hudson Young receives his own two-match suspension for the high tackle he made on Sua Fa'alogo late in the Raiders' 26-22 win over Melbourne.

Nikorima is set to miss games against the Warriors and Storm for crunching Kenny in a hip-drop tackle during the Dolphins' 23-22 loss to the ladder-leading Panthers.

If he unsuccessfully challenged his grade-three dangerous contact charge - the most serious grading available - the Dolphins five-eighth would miss an additional game against Canterbury.
