The disciplinary round-up from the women\u2019s Challenge Cup semi-finals<\/a> as well as the latest round of the Championship and Reserves competitions have seen one England international banned and two London Broncos players charged.<\/p>\n

No players were banned from the men\u2019s Challenge Cup semi-finals with Hull KR\u2019s James Batchelor the only man to be charged, however, there have been two charges from the women\u2019s games, with one of those resulting in a ban.<\/p>\n

Leeds Rhinos\u2019 Grace Short copped a Grade B charge for striking which landed her three penalty points but it was York Valkyrie\u2019s Rhiannon Marshall, a former England international, who was handed the bigger charge.<\/p>\n

Marshall was charged with a Grade E offence of dangerous contact and has been banned for three matches, however, the ban will come into place after this weekend\u2019s opening round of the women\u2019s Super League.<\/p>\n

The forward has been named in the Valkyrie squad to take on Huddersfield Giants today (Saturday) at 12:00 pm, with her ban set to come into place from round two onwards.<\/p>\n

London Broncos pair charged<\/p>\n

Just one player was charged from the reserves comp with Charlie Cullen Thomas of Hull FC handed a Grade B charge for head contact, whilst three Championship charges were handed out.<\/p>\n

Two of those came for London Broncos after their 64-0 win over Midlands Hurricanes<\/a> and four-try hero Gairo Voro was among the two to be charged.<\/p>\n

Voro was handed a Grade C charge for a dangerous throw\/lift meaning he landed five penalty points but he avoided a ban. As did Elliot Wallis, the Broncos flying winger, who was charged with Grade B dangerous contact.<\/p>\n

Mitch Clark was also handed a Grade B charge but for striking in Newcastle\u2019s game against Rochdale Hornets.<\/p>\n
