Liam Byrne faces lengthy suspension as Tyler Dupree handed one-match following Good Friday defeat

The Wigan prop has been charged for the head contact on opposition centre Mark Percival that saw him sent off on Good Friday as the Warriors fell to their first defeat of the season with a 12-4 scoreline.

Percival failed a head injury assessment following the tackle.

Byrne, 24, faces up to a five-match suspension having been referred to a tribunal, while team-mate and fellow forward Tyler Dupree has received a one-match ban.

The England international has been charged for a separate incident to the one that saw him sin-binned at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Featuring from the interchange bench, 24-year-old Dupree was sent for 10 by official Chris Kendall for a leading elbow on Saints’ Matty Lees in the first half.

He has avoided any further punishishment for that incident with the Rugby Football League’s minutes explaining: “Player (Dupree) braces for contact and initial contact (with Lees) is with the chest and rides up quickly to the opponent’s (Lees’) neck as the opponent (Lees) slips prior to contact.”

Dupree has however received a Grade C head contact charge for a separate collision and will miss the clash against Leigh Leopards at the Leigh Sports Village in round seven.

Meanwhile, St Helens prop Lees has received a two-match suspension following his side’s victory during Super League Rivals Round for a Grade C head contact charge.
