JARED WAEREA-HARGREAVES has been given a four-match ban despite his retirement after Hull KR’s Grand Final glory.

It’s perhaps a fitting end to the Kiwi great’s career, which was often spent on – or over – the disciplinary line.

And it is especially ironic after Waerea-Hargreaves had a suspension overturned in the week leading up to the Grand Final, allowing the prop to bow out at Old Trafford.

The 36-year-old produced an inspired performance to help the Robins to a 24-6 victory over Wigan Warriors and complete the treble.

But he also committed two offences which were subsequently punished by the match review panel.

Waerea-Hargreaves’ first-half challenge on Bevan French was deemed to be a Grade B shoulder charge, while he also received a Grade A charge of ‘other contrary behaviour’ for an altercation with Sam Walters.

Wigan’s Brad O’Neill has also been banned in the aftermath of the Grand Final.

The hooker was sinbinned early on for a dangerous tackle on Tyrone May and has subsequently been charged with a Grade D dangerous throw, incurring 12 penalty points and a two-match suspension.

O’Neill will be able to serve the suspension in pre-season so is unlikely to miss any competitive games.
