Tribunal: Morgan Smithies

Wigan Warriors’ Morgan Smithies has received a four-match suspension after pleading guilty to a Grade D charge of Dangerous Contact with Castleford Tigers’ James Clare during last Saturday’s Betfred Super League fixture. 

The Tribunal also fined Smithies £500.

Smithies had already been issued with a two-match penalty notice by the RFL’s Match Review Panel in respect of a separate incident in the same game, so will now miss the next six matches. 

Suaia Matagi of Huddersfield Giants and Hull FC’s Joe Cator chose to accept their respective two and one-match penalty notices served by the Match Review Panel on Monday.
