A huge 15 players charged by Match Review Panel

Leeds Rhinos, Hull FC, Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves played in huge games over the weekend but going into today the focus was of course on disciplinary.

With yellow cards for Manu Ma’u, King Vuniyayawa and Jacob Miller, there were of course players anxiously waiting.

Meanwhile, the likes of Bevan French and Konrad Hurrell also faced nervous waits for divisive moments in their wins.

Now 15 players have been charged by the match review panel which isn’t a surprise after a big weekend of action; Hull KR engineered a shock result at Craven Park to celebrate their own retro round.

They welcomed a wounded Catalans Dragons side to Craven Park who had been battered by Wigan last week. They remarkably lost two games in a row as Jack Walker stood out.

That gave Wigan Warriors the opportunity to take top spot with a win over Salford Red Devils and they took it with Jai Field and Bevan French starring.

The big story was between Leigh Leopards and Huddersfield Giants where after 48 minutes Leigh led 16-12 but the game was stopped by a floodlight failure and would be abandoned and resumed from the 49th minute on Sunday.

Before that, a Sam Lisone hat trick gave Leeds Rhinos a crucial win over Hull FC all but ending their hopes of play off rugby whilst maintaining Leeds’.

Warrington Wolves meanwhile ran in 11 tries against Castleford Tigers as George Williams, Matt Dufty and Danny Walker ran riot to plunge Cas into relegation trouble.

Then on Sunday, Leigh finished the job against Huddersfield whilst St Helens defeated Wakefield Trinity.

Now a huge 6 players have been banned.
