Huddersfield centre Jake Wardle has been charged with a Grade D dangerous throw by the match review panel.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a memorable debut for the Giants, scoring two tries to help them beat Widnes Vikings 28-18 at the John Smith’s Stadium on Friday.

But he has been charged with a Grade D dangerous throw on Rhys Hanbury, which he was sin-binned for in the 68th minute. It has been referred to an independent operational rules tribunal.

Elsewhere, St Helens prop Kyle Amor and Warrington Wolves back-rower Sitaleki Akauola have received cautions for dangerous contacts.
