Three players are facing a ban following last weekend’s Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
Struggling Castleford Tigers could be without prop forward Sylvester Namo for at least six matches after the RFL’s match review panel charged him with grade F dangerous contact in yesterday’s 60-6 home drubbing by Wigan Warriors. The Papua New Guinea international was involved in a tackle which left opponent Willie Isa with what Wigan say is a “fracture dislocation injury to his ankle”.
Explaining the reason for the charge, the panel’s notes state: “Defender uses any part of their body forcefully to twist, bend or otherwise apply pressure to the limb or limbs of an opposing player in a way that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to that player.” Catalans Dragons pack man Bayley Sironen is also facing a lengthy ban following Saturday’s shock 34-6 home loss to Huddersfield Giants.
