Wilkin and Gardner submit Early Guilty Pleas

St Helens pair Jon Wilkin and Ade Gardner have both submitted early guilty pleas to charges handed down to them by the RFL on Monday.

It means Wilkin, 29, will miss their next two games, against London and Widnes, while Gardner will sit out one match.

Both were cited for dangerous shoulder chargers during Saturday’s Challenge Cup defeat at Hull KR.

Winger Francis Meli is due to find out the severity of his suspension at an RFL Disciplinary Hearing later today.
