Super League player faces mammoth ban

One Super League player faces a mammoth ban after he has been referred to tribunal this weekend.

Hugo Salabio is the player in question. The Frenchman recently joined Wakefield Trinity on trial.

He is one of a huge 11 players have been charged by the Match Review Panel this week.

Of the 11, four players have been fined and will receive no further punishments.

Meanwhile, two more have avoided punishment all together.

On top of this, four players have been handed bans with one player in the shape of Mitchell Pearce handed a ban and a fine.
