Eight players from Betfred Super League clubs have been charged following incidents in the weekend’s Third Round Betfred Challenge Cup ties.
These charges are under the new on-field sentencing guidelines that have been introduced for 2025.
All players charged have the facility to challenge at an independent Operational Rules Tribunal on Tuesday February 11.
Charges affecting players from outside the Betfred Super League arising from the weekend’s Third Round ties will be published on Thursday, because as in previous years, challenges would not be heard at an independent Operational Rules Tribunal until next Tuesday (February 18) – meaning that any suspensions would not apply to this weekend’s fixtures (February 15-16).
