Hull KR star Peta Hiku is set to miss the Robins’ upcoming Super League clash with Warrington Wolves after receiving a one-match suspension from the Match Review Panel.<\/p>\n

The veteran centre has been charged with a Grade C late contact on passer, taking his total penalty points beyond the threshold for a suspension. Hull KR<\/a> have until midday on Tuesday to appeal the charge.<\/p>\n

Willie Peters’ side head into Round 19 sitting fifth in the Super League table, two points behind Saturday’s opponents Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two St Helens players have been charged following their record home defeat to Toulouse Olympique, with Curtis Sironen receiving two separate charges.<\/p>\n

The back-rower has been cited for both a Grade A late contact on the passer offence and a Grade B strikes offence.<\/p>\n

Team-mate Daniel Suluka-Fifita has received three penalty points for a Grade B strikes offence following Saints’ 46-0 defeat, their heaviest-ever home loss at the BrewDog Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wakefield’s Isaiah Vagana and York trio Jack Martin, Kieran Buchanan and Xavier Va’a have also been charged.<\/p>\n
