Eight-match ban for Catalans Dragons' Joel Tomkins - and six for Michael McIlorum - following Super League play-offs win over Leeds Rhinos
Two Catalans Dragons players have been banned for a total of 14 games following incidents in last week's defeat of Leeds Rhinos.
Second-rower Joel Tomkins was suspended for eight games and hooker Michael McIlorum will miss six.
Both players are ruled out of this Friday's Betfred Super League semi-final against St Helens and the following week's Grand Final, if Catalans get there.
Referee Chris Kendall, who did not penalise either player, will be in charge of Thursday's semi-final between Wigan Warriors and Hull.
Robert Hicks, the video official, does not have a referee or video assistant appointment this week, but will be reserve referee on Thursday.
The RFL's match review panel charged Tomkins with grade F 'other contrary behaviour' following a challenge on Rhinos’ Richie Myler.
He was found guilty by an operational rules tribunal following a marathon hearing on Tuesday evening and suspended for eight matches, the minimum for an offence of that grade.
He was also fined £500.
McIlorum, who is from Leeds, was banned for two games for a high tackle on Rhinos' Brad Dwyer and four for 'other contrary behaviour'.
The match review panel had charged him with a grade F offence for "interfering with an injured opponent who was on the ground after a tackle".
He attempted to pull Brad Dwyer to his feet after Leeds' replacement hooker had been caught by a tackle across the face in the 52nd minute.
McIlorum admitted contrary behaviour, but challenged the F grading.
The disciplinary hearing reduced the grading to D and imposed a four-game suspension.
McIlorum also pleaded guilty to the high tackle charge and challenged the grading.
The operational rules tribunal upheld the grading and doubled the one-game penalty notice issued by the match review panel.
He was also fined £500.
