Hull and Catalans have been hit with suspensions with a massive 11 further players fined following the latest round of Super League action.
Tony Smith will be without skipper Carlos Tuimavave for the next two matches due to a Grade D dangerous throw charge.
The 31-year-old was sent to the sin-bin against Wigan Warriors at the DW Stadium for a dangerous tackle on opposition centre Jake Wardle.
Harry Smith went on to kick the winning drop-goal in extra time in front of the home fans for a 13-12 score.
Tuimavave will miss games against Warrington and Leeds as Hull push for a play-off spot on the Super League table.
Meanwhile, Catalans hooker and dual-international Michael McIlorum has been hit with a Grade B late contact charge in the 30-14 win over Leigh Leopards.
The Dragons spoiled the homecoming at the Leigh Sports Village a week after their Challenge Cup triumph over Hull KR at Wembley.
He has received a one-match ban and will miss Saturday’s reunion with former club Wigan in Perpignan.
