The play on the receiving end of the incident, Wolfpack fullback Hakim Miloudi, stayed down and required treatment.
Flanagan has now been charged and faces an indefinite suspension given the severity of the charge.
Under the RFL’s rulings, Flanagan faces a minimum eight match suspension if found guilty, but could even face a set length of time, a suspension period, by the disciplinary panel.
Toulouse’s Joe Bretherton has been handed a two-match ban for a shoulder charge on Halifax’s Scott Murrell.
