Each have until midday Tuesday to enter respective pleas. Wighton will face a week out regardless if he unsuccessfully contests the charge at the judiciary, while Boyd risks missing a second match if he does so.
UPDATE, Monday 6 June: Wighton & Boyd have accepted the early guilty plea for these charges, meaning they will both miss Thursday's clash with Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.
Penrith's Sam McKendry (Grade 1 Shoulder Charge, 78' on Cameron Munster) will miss 2 weeks with an early plea after being charged in Saturday night's clash at AAMI Park. McKendry will miss 3 weeks if he contests the charge at the judiciary and is unsuccessful.
