The latest Super League disciplinary verdict has seen a total of 14 players charged with one man banned and Wigan Warriors\u2019 Brad O\u2019Neill referred for further investigation after being accused of spitting.<\/p>\n

It was an action-packed Rivals Round<\/a> and the disciplinary verdict has reflected that with charges stemming from all bar one Super League game, Friday\u2019s clash between Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos.<\/p>\n

That was a game in which Kallum Watkins was placed on report<\/a> but nothing has come from it for the Leeds Rhinos man, however, other players have not been as lucky.<\/p>\n

Joe Cator is the one player to be banned with the Toulouse forward copping a Grade D charge for head contact, worth 15 points because it resulted in injury for his opponent. That\u2019s enough to see the Englishman banned for two games.<\/p>\n

Leigh\u2019s Joe Ofahengaue picks up a Grade C charge that took him close to a ban, however, he\u2019s fine to play next week despite his head contact charge.<\/p>\n

Grade B charges were handed to Elliot Minchella (head contact), Matt Davis (dangerous contact), Ethan Havard (head contact), Shane Wright (head contact) and Romain Navarrete (late contact on the passer) with all other charges only Grade A.<\/p>\n

Wigan Warriors\u2019 Brad O\u2019Neill was accused of spitting<\/a> with St Helens\u2019 Jake Wingfield making a formal allegation. That incident has been referred for further investigation.<\/p>\n
