| The disciplinary panel investigated seventeen incidents as a result of the weekends four Ladbrokes Challenge Cup fixtures. Five of the matters which had them rewinding and slow-motioning were related to Leigh Centurions players and the remaining twelve involved Super League players.
In all three charges were brought and one warning issued with one of the charged players able and willing to submit an Early Guilty Plea (EGP) to take some of the leniency on offer.
Two of the charges came from Saturday's hard-fought game between Warrington Wolves and Leigh Centurions. Ben Currie of Warrington was charged with 'Deliberate Physical Contact with a Match Official' in the 62nd minute of the game. This was a Grade C offence and carries a tariff of 2 to 3 matches. Currie had the option of an EGP which he took and he will now serve a two game suspension.
Fuifui MoiMoi of the Centurions managed to make it until the seventh-seventh minute of the game before making dangerous contact on Daryl Clark. He has been charged with a grade B offence which could see him with a 1 to 2 game suspension if found guilty.
The other two incidents which required further action were during the St Helens v. Widnes Vikings game and both related to Saints players. In the 37th minute Luke Walsh was deemed to have kicked out at Kevin Brown and received a caution as to his future conduct.
Joe Greenwood faces a 2 to 3 game (grade C) suspension after a 'Dangerous Contact', again on Kevin Brown, this time in the sixty-eight minute.
Those players with the option of EGP have until this morning to decide whether to accept or face the disciplinary panel tonight to answer the charges.
Update - Greenwood was found not guilty. Moimoi submitted an EGP and will serve a one match suspension. |
