WIGAN WARRIORS, St Helens and Castleford Tigers have incurred bans from the weekend’s Super League action.
Wigan forward Liam Byrne has been slapped with a Grade C Head Contact charge, but with the higher end of the sanction grade, meaning a two-match penalty notice has been forthcoming.
Meanwhile, St Helens’ Tommy Makinson and Castleford’s Liam Horne – both of whom were sent off in Saints’ 60-4 thrashing of the Tigers – have been hit with Grade C Head Contact and Dangerous Throw charges respectively.
Those charges have produced one-match penalty notices, with Huddersfield Giants pair Ashton Golding and Esan Marsters, London Broncos’ Will Lovell and Hull FC’s Jordan Lane all incurring £250 fines.
Golding was charged with Grade B Head Contact, Marsters with Grade B Other Contrary Behaviour, Lovell with Grade B Head Contact and Lane with Grade B Dangerous Contact.
However, all four players will be eligible to play in all of their clubs’ next respective fixtures.
