HULL FC could be without one of their key forwards when they host Warrington Wolves on Friday.

Liam Watts is one of five players to have been charged by the Match Review Panel following Round 11 of Betfred Super League and Round 5 of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup.

With Watts not having an early guilty plea available to his charge of a grade B high tackle in his side's win against Castleford Tigers at the weekend, the prop forward will have to wait until tonight's hearing to find out if he is in the mix or out of the running.

Warrington's Joe Philbin has also been charged, but having the early guilty plea option to the charge of a grade A trip means he has a strong chance of escaping any suspension on this occasion.

Charge list:

Darnell McIntosh (Huddersfield) - Grade A Punching (EGP not available)

Joe Philbin (Warrington) - Grade A Tripping (EGP available)

Liam Watts (Hull FC) - Grade B High Tackle (EGP not available)

Justin Carney (Salford) - Grade F Verbal abuse based on race/colour (EGP not available)

Jack Bussey (Toronto) - Grade B Strikes with elbow/forearm (EGP not available)
