Morgan Knowles receives suspension following Challenge Cup red card

Morgan Knowles has been handed a two-game suspension following his late red card against Halifax in the Challenge Cup sixth round. 

The 26-year-old was sent off in his first game back from a five-match suspension against the Championship outfit, and was sent off in the final minute of the game for a high tackle on Halifax hooker Tom Inman.

He received a Grade C high tackle charge and will miss the trip to Headingley Stadium this Friday, as well as Newcastle’s Magic Weekend as St Helens face Huddersfield.

Meanwhile, Warrington playmaker Josh Drinkwater has received a one-match ban for a Grade C dangerous tackle. Daryl Powell’s side defeated Catalans 16-14 in Perpignan on Saturday to cement their place in the quarter-finals.

The Super League leaders take on Leigh at the Leigh Sports Village this Friday.

Finally, Hull KR forward Rhys Kennedy received a Grade B dangerous contact charge and will miss Thursday’s televised fixture with Wigan.

Marc Sneyd, Josh McGuire and Josh Griffin all received £250 fines for respective charges.
