Westwood and Sa’u banned

Warrington Wolves forward Ben Westwood and Salford Red Devils centre Junior Sa’u have both been given bans by the RFL following their respective matches last week.

Westwood was facing a Grade D dangerous contact charge for his tackle on Leigh Centurions forward Danny Tickle and he has been banned for 3 games and fined £300 .

Westwood pleaded guilty to the charge but challenged the grading , the independent tribunal found the grading appropriate .

That means he won’t take to the field until round 2 of the Super 8s , missing games against Wigan and Widnes plus round one after the split .

Meanwhile, Sa’u was able to take an early guilty plea and a one-match ban for his high tackle on Kallum Watkins.

Salford’s powerhouse centre will miss his side’s next game against Castleford Tigers on Friday night, live on Sky Sports 3.
