CASTLEFORD TIGERS forward Jeremiah Simbiken and Wakefield Trinity man Isaiah Vagana have both been handed one-match suspensions following wins over Warrington Wolves and Huddersfield Giants respectively.
Simbiken was charged with Grade A Late Contact on Passer which only carries one penalty point. However, given the PNG star’s charge history, he has now accrued 7.5 penalty points and will thus miss Castleford’s away clash at St Helens.
Vagana, meanwhile, has been given 5 penalty points for a Grade C Dangerous Throw/Lift and will also sit out one game.
Hull FC man Matty Laidlaw has been charged with Grade B Dangerous Contact, with Alex Mellor and Joe Stimson – both of Castleford – being given Grade B Head Contact and Grade A Late Contact on Passer charges.
