Castleford forward Weller Hauraki could face a one-match ban after being charged with punching in the derby defeat to Wakefield.

Hauraki, 28, faces an RFL Operational Rules Tribunal this evening (Tuesday) for the Grade A offence.

Following the same incident, Wakefield winger Ben Cockayne was also charged with a Grade A punching offence, but he was able to submit an Early Guilty Plea to avoid suspension.

Hull KR‘s Jason Netherton was handed a formal caution for making dangerous contact with Erjon Dollapi during Rovers’ game with London on Sunday.
