Three Hull KR players have been charged by the RFL’s Match Review Panel following Good Friday’s derby match against Hull FC. They are Tom Amone, Peta Hiku, and Elliot Minichella.
Minchella’s is the most serious charge, with the Rovers loose-forward picking up a Grade B head contact after a hit on Hull forward Sam Lisone. He has also been fined.
Amone and Hiku have received Grade A charges for striking and a late contact on the passer. The duo haven’t been fined, while all three players are free to play in Saturday’s Challenge Cup quarter-final tie against York Knights.
The Robins trio are three of 14 charges handed out by the MRP, with one suspension given to Toulouse Olympique forward Joe Cator. The Hull-born player has been issued a two-match ban after being charged with a Grade D head contact offence. He has been handed 15 penalty points and has also been fined.
