Wigan Warriors props Ben Flower and Ollie Partington facing bans

Ben Flower made his first appearance of the year

Flower will miss two matches while Partington could be suspended for up to five games.

The 21-year-old has been charged with a Grade D charge of 'dangerous contact'.

It normally carries a suspension range of three to five matches but any charges about Grade C require the player to face the RFL's disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday evening to learn their fate.

Welshman Flower was placed on report moments after coming off the bench in yesterday's 30-16 win against Hull KR.

The tackle around the knees of Matt Storton, which saw him limp off and play no further part, was deemed a Grade C 'Dangerous Contact'.

Hull KR coach Tony Smith stopped short of criticising the challenge but did say: "It's not my job to judge but I'm sure those who do, will take a look at it."

Partington's charge followed a tackle on KR prop Robbie Mulhern in the 64th minute. Neither offence saw a card be produced.

Flower was making his first appearance on the year - having recovered from a back injury - while Partington has been ever-present, and his strong form had earned him a starting spot.

Adrian Lam, though, is well-stocked in the front-row department.

Mitch Clark and Joe Bullock both played for the reserves on Saturday and could come back into the fold for Friday's trip to Salford.

And Tony Clubb also missed out last weekend with a minor shoulder injury.

Meanwhile, Catalans' Sam Tomkins will miss the return to face former club Wigan on Mother's Day after being given a two-match ban for a Grade B trip.
