Hide AdHardaker, 23, could be hit with a two-game ban if he faces the disciplinary tribunal tomorrow although that would be reduced to one match if he accepts an early guilty plea (EGP).
Elsewhere, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats prop Mickael Simon has no such option so he will attend that tribunal after being charged with two Grade B offences of raising his knees in a tackle against Hull FC last Wednesday.
Hull front-row Mickey Paea will face the panel, too, on a Grade C dangerous throw on Wakefield’s Danny Washbrook in the same fixture so he is in danger of missing Sunday’s game with Castleford Tigers and, most importantly, the following week’s derby against Hull KR.
