Match review panel: 3 Yorkshire Super League players charged after Challenge Cup
Three Yorkshire Super League players have been charged following the Challenge Cup third round.
The RFL’s match review panel issued penalty points to Bradford Bulls duo Dan Russell and Eribe Doro and York Knights’ Paul Vaughan, but all are free to play in Betfred Super League round one this weekend. Cup incidents involving Championship players will be studied on Thursday.
Vaughan was charged with grade A ‘raises knee in tackle’ during Saturday’s win at Barrow Raiders and was handed one penalty point. His total over the previous 12 months was 1.5. Suspensions begin when a player reaches six points. Knights’ former Leeds Rhinos, Wakefield Trinity and Castleford Tigers hooker Paul McShane was not charged following his sending off for fighting in the same game.
Russell and Doro were both accused of grade A ‘late contact on passer’ against London Broncos and also received one penalty point. Their total over the past 12 months was 1.5 and 1.25 respectively.
