Widnes Vikings forward hit with ban

Widnes Vikings forward Willie Isa will miss the club’s next three games, after being suspended this evening at a disciplinary hearing.

Isa – who was charged with two counts of a Grade B dangerous tackle during the Vikings’ Challenge Cup semi-final defeat to Castleford at the weekend – pleaded guilty to an offence with the Tigers’ Kirk Dixon, copping him a two-match ban.

He was also found guilty of another charge involving Cas’ Andy Lynch, and was given an extra one-match ban. It means he will return for the Vikings’ final regular season game.
