HULL KR will head to an Operational Rules Tribunal to fight the Grade C Head Contact charge given to their captain Elliot Minchella.
Minchella was slapped with the charge – which also resulted in a two-match penalty notice – following a high tackle on Leigh Leopards’ Matt Moylan in Rovers’ 24-0 win last weekend.
The East Yorkshire club requested to the Rugby Football League for the tribunal hearing to be deferred for next Tuesday evening.
In doing so, Rovers accepted Minchella’s guilt so the loose-forward serves a one-match suspension this week before they challenge the grading at the ORT next week in the hope of reducing the ban to just the one game instead of two.
