A total of eight players have been charged by Super League disciplinary this afternoon, with one man handed a suspension.<\/p>\n

There was plenty for the Match Review Panel to look at this week, with three players being shown sin bins and a number of other incidents to assess.<\/p>\n

However, Huddersfield Giants\u2019 Sam Hewitt is the only man to have been handed a ban this week following his late hit against Wakefield Trinity on Sunday. The forward has been handed a Grade C charge and five penalty points, but due to his previous record, that charge has seen him banned for a game.<\/p>\n

Hull FC forward Liam Knight has been charged on two occasions, with the prop being punished for Grade B head contact and a Grade B throw\/lift, the latter resulting in the yellow card he saw against Wigan Warriors. However, while he had been banned, he has escaped a ban, with his total penalty points now standing at 4.5.<\/p>\n

Adam Keighran was sin binned in that game, too, but he has got away with three penalty points and a fine.<\/p>\n
