Castleford Tigers player challenges one-match ban

The Rugby Football League's match review panel charged Millington with two separate counts of grade A dangerous contact, on Theo Fages and Jonny Lomax, in last Sunday's 10-0 defeat at St Helens.

The front-rower was handed a one-game penalty notice for the second offence, for which he was sin-binned.

He is appealing against both charges and the case will be heard at an online tribunal on Wednesday.

The disciplinary hearing will also consider a grade F charge of ‘other contrary behaviour’ against St Helens winger Tommy Makinson.

Makinson, who was referred by the match review panel, is accused of grabbing the genitals of Tigers prop Liam Watts.

Catalans Dragons have until 11am on Wednesday to decide whether to challenge suspensions given to Sam Tomkins (one match – reactionary or reckless trip) and Sam Moa (two matches – high tackle) following incidents in last weekend's 58-0 win over Wakefield Trinity.

Both face missing Saturday's Coral Challenge Cup sixth round rematch with Wakefield.

Trinity's Reece Lyne has accepted a two-game penalty notice for grade C dangerous contact.

Warrington’s Ben Murdoch Masila will not appeal against a two match suspension for a high tackle against Huddersfield Giants.

He will miss Warrington's Betfred Super League clash with Wakefield on August 29.
