The Sydney Roosters have elected to enter a Not Guilty plea after Latrell Mitchell was cited by the NRL Match Review Committee in last Saturday's Qualifying Finals match.

Mitchell received a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact charge for an incident that occurred in the 42nd minute of the match on Sharks player Josh Dugan.

If the Club are successful in making their case, he will be available for selection in the Roosters Preliminary Final match.

If they are unsuccessful, he will be suspended for one match and hold a total of 95 Carry-Over points.

The hearing will be held on Tuesday evening.
