Morgan Smithies facing two suspensions

Smithies congratulates try-scorer Joe Burgess

Morgan Smithies could face a ban of up to seven games.

He will face the RFL's disciplinary panel tomorrow on a Grade D charge of dangerous contact following the tackle which led to James Clare being stretchered off.

The normal suspension range for a Grade D offence is three to five matches.

But Smithies has also been banned for two games for headbutting (Grade C) earlier in the game.

Multiple suspensions run successively - one after the other - rather than concurrently.

Smithies was sinbinned for the tackle on Clare and Castleford coach Daryl Powell labelled it a 'crusher tackle' and "terrible".

Smithies took to Twitter, saying: "Hoping James Clare is okay, speedy recovery mate, wasn't intentional."

On Sunday, Clare stated he had been given the all-clear and was "home safe and sound".
