The disciplinary verdict is in following the conclusion of Super League Round 13, and as a result Hull KR and Wakefield Trinity have seen players handed bans.
Those two sides played against each other on Saturday, with Wakefield narrowly coming out on top, winning 26-24.
However, in that game the Match Review Panel have deemed five incidents worth of a charge, including the red card offence from Robins prop Sauaso Sue.
The veteran hit Tray Lolesio high, resulting in a red card. As a result, he has been given a Grade D charge, which will see him suspended for one match.
Ultimately, his red card has actually saved him from a two-match ban. Grade D charges are worth 12 points, but one point gets taken off if a red card is issued. Had that not been the case, and Sue recieved the full 12, he would have reached the threshold for a two-match ban.
Wakefileld also had a red card in that game, with Matty Storton given his marching orders for head contact. He has been given a Grade C charge, but has not reached the points for a suspension.

Teammate Jazz Tevaga, however, will miss this week’s trip to Wigan Warriors, after a Grade B late contact on passer charge puts him on 7.25 penalty points.
Isaiah Vagana and Caius Faatili were also hit with charges in that game.
Despite there being no other bans in Super League, 13 other players have been cited by the MRP, including Leeds Rhinos star Maika Sivo. He has been given a Grade B for dangerous contact. A Grade C charge would have seen him suspended, so Sivo will be treading on thin ice for the forseaable future.
Saints pair David Klemmer and Curtis Sironen have both been given Grade B’s for late and dangerous contact respectively.
Luke Thomas and Ben Currie of Warrington Wolves have both been handed their first points of the season, whilst Hull FC man Joe Batchelor has landed a fine after a Grade B dangerous contact charge.
Bradford pair Andy Ackers and Riley Dean were both charged following their win over York Knights, whilst Ashr O’Donnell was charged in Huddersfield’s loss to Toulouse.
Wigan Warriors pair Kaide Ellis and Patrick Mago both landed Grade B charges for dangerous contact and tripping respectively. Mago saw yellow for the incident at the time.
Lastly, Leigh duo Joe Ofahengaue and Jack Hughes have copped Grade A charges for late contact and striking respectively. Hughes’ incident was a forearm to the face of Krystian Mapapalangi, and it went missed by the on-field officials at the time.
