Following Saturday’s Betfred Super League Grand Final, Sione Mata'utia has been charged with a Grade A offence and a one match ban by the Match Review Panel.
Mata’utia has been charged with Grade A Punching following an incident in the fourth minute whilst Michael McIlorum of Catalans Dragons has been charged with a Grade A Tripping offence following an incident in the ninth minute.
In each case, the punishment is a one-match suspension – and the player has until Tuesday morning to challenge this.
In addition, the RFL can confirm that the post-match comments of the Catalans Chairman Bernard Guasch are being considered by the Compliance Department.
