Huge 14 players charged by Match Review Panel

After a busy weekend with huge games like Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors meeting, Warrington Wolves clashing with Salford Red Devils and Hull FC headed over to Castleford Tigers in a major game at the bottom, the Match Review Panel met today to review the action and make disciplinary decision.

It will have been a busy session with a vast number of yellow cards this weekend in some hot tempered games as pressure rises at the end of the season.

After this action a huge 14 players have been charged including five bans.

Four of these bans have been given to Super League players in the shape of Sam Walters, Brad Singleton, Renouf Atoni and Luke Yates.

The action started at Belle Vue where a valiant Wakefield fell 18-0 down. Though they finished with a flourish, they went on to suffer defeat 18-10.

Elsewhere on Friday night, Castleford Tigers stormed to victory over Hull FC helped by a drop goal and a brilliant brace of tries from the young Jason Qareqare.

A defeat for Hull FC but their rivals Hull KR further cemented their play off spot as they defeated Huddersfield Giants to end their own play off hopes.

But the main event on Friday night was indeed the clash between Leigh Leopards and St Helens which was one of the games of the season and showed that both of them can compete when it comes to the end of the season.
