Seven players have been charged and a further four cautioned following the ugly Scenes in Perpignan on Saturday evening.
Sam Tomkins received the heaviest ban of three matches for Grade C punching, however Kenny Edwards has had his ‘other contrary behaviour’ charge referred to an operational rules tribunal.
Brayden Williame, Mickael Simon, Michael McIlorum and Tom Lineham all received a one-match ban for their part in the mass brawl.
The only other player to be banned this weekend is Huddersfield’s Adam Walne who was cited for dangerous contact in Friday’s game against Leeds.
Disciplinary round-up:
Adam Walne (Huddersfield) – Grade B Dangerous Contact – 1 match penalty notice
Dan Sarginson (Wigan) – Grade A Dangerous Contact – 0 Match Penalty Notice
Brayden Williame (Catalans) – Grade B Dangerous Throw – 1 Match Penalty Notice
Mickael Simon (Catalans) – Grade A Head Butt – 1 Match Penalty Notice
Chris Hill (Warrington) – Grade A Punching – 0 Match Penalty Notice
Tom Lineham (Warrington) – Grade A strikes with shoulder – 1 Match Penalty Notice
Kenny Edwards (Catalans) – Grade A strikes with knee – 0 match penalty notice
Sam Tomkins (Catalans) – Grade C punching – 3 match Penalty Notice
Michael McIlorum (Catalans) – Grade B high tackle – 1 Match Penalty Notice
Kenny Edwards (Catalans) – Grade C – other contrary behaviour – refer to tribunal*
The rationale behind this is that, due to the obscure nature of the charge, and there being no comparable evidence in which for the Panel to compare, it was deemed appropriate to issue a direct referral for consideration rather than issue a Penalty Notice.
The offence occurred on the pitch and therefore has been charged under the Onfield Sentencing Guidelines.
The following players have been issued with cautions:
Kenny Edwards (Catalans) – Running in
Tom Lineham (Warrington) – Running in
David Mead (Catalans) – Running in
The off field, crowd misconduct case has been opened separate to this charge and will be dealt with by a compliance investigator.
