Thronhill player referred to tribunal after horror tackle on Doncaster’s Connor Robinson
Thornhill Trojans player Jake Wilson is facing a lengthy ban after being issued with three separate sanctions by the RFL disciplinary.
Wilson has been referred to a tribunal for two Grade F Other Contrary Behaviour and one Grade D intentionally stands on charge following their Challenge Cup defeat to Doncaster.
A video posted on social media earlier this week showed an unpunished tackle on Connor Robinson where Wilson appeared to lunge in two-footed on the half-back.
Doncaster won the game 24-6.
DRAW: Challenge Cup third round and fourth round draw
Keighley centre Dan Parker will also face a tribunal, faced with a Grade D Other Contrary Behaviour charge following their cup defeat at Hunslet.
His team-mate Kyle Kesik was handed a two match ban for striking with the knee.
In the Championship, Barrow forward Sam Brooks was banned for three matches for dangerous contact, while Dewsbury’s Michael Knowles handed a two match ban for a headbutt.
Newcastle’s Nathan Wilde and Workington’s Evan Simons both received two match bans for dangerous contact.
Two incidents involving referees resulted in bans too – West Wales’ Michael Holden will miss two matches following a Grade C contact with referee, and Whitehaven winger Andrew Bulman was banned for one match for using foul language to the referee.
It was a busy week for the disciplinary panel following the weekend’s Championship and Challenge Cup games.
Therefore cases from last weekend’s pre-season games involving Super League clubs will now be considered by the Match Review Panel on Monday.
