Wakefield Trinity Wildcats: Moore banned but free to play in Challenge Cup semi
Moore, who has already served two suspensions this season, was banned for the maximum of one game after admitting making a grade A high tackle on Morgan Escare in last weekend’s win at Catalans Dragons.
He will sit out Sunday’s derby against his former club Castleford Tigers, but be available for the semi-final at Leigh six days later.

Charnley was banned for two games after admitting making deliberate physical contact with a match official during his side’s 18-16 Super League defeat at Leeds Rhinos last Friday.
The Sale-bound former England international was seen grabbing the shoulder of match referee Robert Hicks to catch his attention while protesting a decision.
Tautai denied a charge of making dangerous contact on Leeds forward Adam Cuthbertson in the same game, but was found guilty by an RFL disciplinary tribunal at a hearing in Leeds on Tuesday evening.
