Eight Super League players charged as Huddersfield Giants man banned

EIGHT players have been charged following the weekend’s Super League action – including Hull FC’s Liam Knight twice.

Knight was charged with a Grade B Head Contact as well as Grade B Dangerous Throw/Lift in the aftermath of Hull FC’s 34-6 loss to Wigan Warriors on Saturday night.
