The Giants pair were both handed a two-game penalty notice, ruling them out of this Friday’s visit of Salford Red Devils and the home derby with Rhinos six days later. Players from Leigh Leopards, Wigan Warriors, Catalans and Hull FC were also among those charged following Betfred Super League round 17.
Players have until noon tomorrow (Tuesday) to challenge the panel’s findings. Any appeals will be heard later that day. Here’s the full list of charges, plus a couple of incidents which resulted in no further punishment.
