Super League disciplinary with 14 charged including Hull FC and St Helens trios

Following the opening round of Super League, the Match Review Panel have met to bring forward the disciplinary charges with a total of 14 players charged.

Super League returned with a bang on Thursday night as records tumbled at the Brick Community Stadium including the highest-ever Round One attendance, the lowest-scoring match and the first 0-0 in 80 minutes.

It was Leigh who came out victorious with Gareth O’Brien’s drop goal in golden point ensuring that the Leopards took home the two points despite only scoring one themselves.

More golden point drama followed on Friday as Hull KR beat Castleford Tigers 19-18, whilst cross-city rivals Hull FC beat Catalans 22-4 in the biggest upset of the round.

Wakefield edging Leeds Rhinos 14-12 was close in terms of the scale of the upset whilst Saturday’s evening game between St Helens and Salford broke records for the wrong reasons with the 82-0 win for Saints marking the largest-ever margin of victory in the competition after Salford named a much-weakened side.

Sunday saw Warrington beat Huddersfield 20-12 but before all eyes can turn to Round Two of Super League, each club will be nervously awaiting today’s disciplinary verdict as the Match Review Panel meet.

The new system means that charges don’t always equate to bans with players earning penalty points which then accrue and see players banned once they hit certain thresholds.

Here are the results of today’s Match Review Panel.

Super League disciplinary results see 14 players charged

The Match Review Panel have confirmed that 14 players have been charged but with the new system that sees charges equals points as opposed to immediate bans, nobody has been banned.

The heaviest charge is a Grade C, which Adam Keighran, Jordan Lane and Mason Lino have all been hit with meaning each man has had 5 points placed on their record.

Liam Farrell has escaped a charge despite being sent to the sin bin for delaying the restart in the loss to Leigh Leopards.

In total, three St Helens and Hull FC men have been charged with each of Huddersfield Giants and  Wakefield Trinity seeing two charged.

Hull KR, Catalans Dragons, Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors are the other four teams to see players charged.
