Bradford player charged with ‘attack to testicles’

Bradford Bulls hooker George Flanagan has been charged with a Grade F Attack to testicles by the RFL’s Match Review Panel.

The 32-year-old appeared to make contact with the groin area of Toronto Wolfpack player Hakim Miloudi during Sunday’s game between the two clubs.
