Earlier tonight, the RFL Match Review Panel revealed its judiciary decisions following last weekend’s friendlies with a number of players looking forwards bans.
Two of those that stood out, however, included James Clare’s and Liam Harris’s Grade D charges which were both given for punches.
Both Clare and Harris were cited under: “Strikes Punching – Reaction to opponent – lashing out -– makes contact with Head of opponent.”
If both are found guilty, the duo could sit out for three to five games.
But, footage has since been revealed on Twitter that shows the incident, albeit with a touch judge blocking the view of how it started.
