Match review panel set to be busy as four cards shown in one night

It could be a busy Bank Holiday weekend for the match review panel.

In total, five cards have been shown in Round 11 including four last night.

The first one was given for a professional foul from Jake Trueman. The halfback was making his Hull FC debut off the bench on Thursday night.

Known for his attacking play, it was what he did defensively that earnt him a yellow card as he clung onto Wigan Warriors’ Joe Shorrocks who had picked up a dropped ball from Davy Litten.

Trueman’s actions saw him sin binned for the last 50 second but allowed Hull to organise their defence and cling on for the win.

Then on Friday night Leeds Rhinos stand-off was sin binned for stopping Kallum Watkins chasing through a lovely Marc Snyed grubber kick which could have seen the former Rhino score.

Some fans are fearful he will be suspended for tripping. There were a few interesting incidents in the Leeds games, plenty of late hits which have been harshly punished lately, and Leeds fans are worried they could have a few players banned.

Elsewhere, there were two cards in France as Catalans Dragons beat Champions St Helens.

Konrad Hurrell was given 10 for dissent but assuming he hasn’t said anything too bad to official Liam Moore he will avoid a ban.

Siosiua Taukeiaho meanwhile was sin binned for contact with the head much to the dismay of Barrie McDermott.

Meanwhile, the only red card of the weekend went the way of Kevin Proctor in a key turning point in Wakefield Trinity’s loss to Warrington Wolves.
