South Sydney forward David Kidwell has entered an early guilty plea and escaped suspension for a "chicken wing" tackle on Raider Glen Turner at Canberra Stadium on Monday night.

The New Zealand international has earned 93 demerit points for his contrary conduct charge for unnecessary pressure to the arm in the 17th minute of Monday night's 38-10 loss.

Penrith youngster Sam McKendry also entered an early guilty plea and accepted a one-week ban for dropping his knees in last Sunday's home win over the New Zealand Warriors.

Canberra's Scott Logan has also escaped a suspension by pleading guilty to a careless high tackle on Roy Asotasi on Monday night but will have 53 carryover points on his record.
