and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Hull FC forward Franklin Pele will miss Saturday’s Betfred Challenge Cup sixth round tie at Huddersfield Giants after being handed a one-match penalty notice. The RFL’s match review panel charged Pele with grade C dangerous contact after he was sin-binned during last Saturday’s 54-4 home drubbing by Leigh Leopards.
That was the off-season signing’s second appearance for Hull. He was banned for three games after being sent-off for a high tackle during his debut in the derby defeat to Hull KR last month.

Teammate Fa’amanu Brown escaped a ban after being charged with grade B dangerous contact against Leigh. He was fined £250. Other players charged after last weekend’s top-flight games were Salford Red Devils’ Amir Bourouh (grade B dangerous contact against Wigan Warriors) and Jake Connor, of Huddersfield Giants (grade B striking). Both were fined £250, but not suspended.
There were no charges from Leeds Rhinos’ home loss to St Helens or Castleford Tigers’ defeat at Catalans Dragons.
