It\u2019s likely to meet the threshold for a charge.<\/p>\n<p>Elliot Peposhi<\/p>\n<p>Staying in the same game \u2013 for a good while yet \u2013 we\u2019re expecting young Bulls forward Elliot Peposhi for the tackle that saw him earn a straight red card on Saturday. It led to George Delaney going off for a HIA and it goes without saying that you can expect to see the Albanian on the long list from the MRP on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Loghan Lewis<\/p>\n<p>Could Bulls prop Lewis also be in some trouble? There\u2019s some conjecture about whether or not his tackle on Jacob Host \u2013 which led to the St Helens forward breaking his leg \u2013 constitutes a hip drop. It may well get cleared \u2013 but if he\u2019s cited, it could be very problematic for the Bulls.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Shorrocks<\/p>\n<p>Sticking with an incident-packed game for one last time on Saturday, we\u2019re expecting Shorrocks to be cited for the nature of his tackle on Ed Chamberlain that saw him sin-binned.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Eseh<\/p>\n<p>One other that caught our eye on Saturday evening came in the south of France \u2013 as Sam Eseh was penalised for an off-the-ball hit on Toulouse\u2019s Jake Shorrocks. It\u2019s the kind of thing the MRP often pick up on.. so it\u2019s one to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p>Mike McMeeken<\/p>\n<p>Finally \u2013 will Wakefield Trinity captain Mike McMeeken be in trouble for his clash with Brad Fash on Thursday night? He definitely struck the face of the Hull FC forward on multiple occasions, and it could be that it lands him a charge.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re expecting a busy day on Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a hectic round in Super League, it\u2019s possible that there could be a busy Monday morning for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-465762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
