Mata’utia and Knowles banned, but Welsby free to play

Sione Mata'utia has been banned for three matches following his sending off on Friday night, whilst Morgan Knowles has also picked up a one match suspension. Jack Welsby has been charged with a Grade A offence, but escapes a ban.

Mata’utia was sent to the bin on 17 minutes after he was deemed to try and pick Danny Levi off the floor following a tackle in our 25-0 victory over Huddersfield Giants on Friday.

The allegation in the Match Review Panel minutes states Sione has been charged with a Grade C “other Contrary Behaviour” – “lifting an injured player”. He has since been given a 3 match penalty notice.

He is set to miss our away trips to Wakefield and Salford and a home clash with Castleford Tigers on Sunday 7th August live on Channel 4.

Knowles will also miss Sunday’s trip to Wakefield after he was charged with a Grade A “late hit on the passer” in the 46th minute.

Welsby is the third Saint to be charged. He has been penalised for a Grade A late hit on Theo Fages in the first minute of the game, but received a 0 match penalty notice and is therefore available to face Trinity on Sunday.
