THE Disciplinary Match Review Panel has been busy this afternoon following ten sinbins and one red card in the Super League fixtures over the weekend.
Huddersfield Giants’ Andre Savelio has been charged with Grade D Head Contact, yielding a two-match penalty notice and a £250 fine following his red card in the Giants’ 20-16 defeat to Leigh Leopards on Saturday.
Also from that game, Huddersfield’s Sam Hewitt has been charged with Grade D Punching, producing a two-match penalty notice and a £250 fine whilst Leigh’s Edwin Ipape has been given a Grade B Dangerous Contact charge and thus a one-match penalty notice.
Elsewhere, Wigan Warriors’ Adam Keighran will also sit out one match after being charged with Grade B Dangerous Throw/Lift in his side’s 16-12 win over St Helens.
However, St Helens’ Matty Lees has escaped any charge, with his sinbin being deemed “sufficient” by the Match Review Panel.
