The RFL have released the following disciplinary update relating to Thursday’s Betfred Super League meeting between Hull FC and Wigan Warriors.

Three players from last Thursday’s Betfred Super League fixture between Wigan Warriors and Hull FC have been charged following the weekly meeting of the Match Review Panel.

Wigan forward Tony Clubb has been charged with the Grade F offence of “unacceptable language/abuse based on national or ethnic origin”, following an incident in the 15th minute of the match.

This means he will be required to attend an independent Operational Rules Tribunal on Tuesday.

Two Hull FC players have been charged with Grade B offences: Jake Connor with a high tackle, and Brad Fash with dangerous contact.

Both carry a one-match suspension, although the players have the option of challenging at the independent Operational Rules Tribunal on Tuesday.

In addition the MRP imposed a caution on Hull’s Mahe Fonua for a reckless trip, and on Wigan’s Ethan Havard for dangerous contact.
