A total of 14 players have been charged by the Rugby Football League’s match review panel following Round Seven of Super League action.

Leeds Rhinos prop Mikolaj Oledzki has been suspended following his sin-bin in their win over Salford Red Devils on Thursday. The England international is one of 14 players to be charged by the match review panel following Round Seven of Super League, but the only player to receive a ban,

He was shown a yellow card for a high tackle in their win at Salford and has now received a Grade A charge, which carries five penalty points. With the Poland-born prop having previously received one penalty-point, he has now racked up the necessary number of penalty points to land a one-match suspension, meaning he will miss the Rhinos’ clash with Huddersfield Giants in Rivals Round this weekend.

Oledzki’s teammate Keenan Palasia was also charged for his high tackle that saw him sin-binned, but the Samoa international has only been hit with a Grade B charge and carries three penalty points. He will be free to face Huddersfield on Good Friday.

Elsewhere, three Hull FC players have been charged and Huddersfield forward Sam Hewitt has received the highest graded charge, alongside Oledzki, at Grade C. He was sin-binned for using his leg in a tackle in their defeat to Catalans Dragons and has been cited for other contrary behaviour, which carries five penalty points. He is free to face Leeds this weekend though due to not hitting the six penalty-point threshold.

Hull KR playmaker Tyrone May has received one penalty point for a Grade A head contact charge in their 28-12 defeat to Wigan Warriors on Friday. It is his first penalty point of the campaign, so he is free to face rivals Hull FC on Friday.
