TWO players are set to miss matches against Warrington Wolves after picking up bans tonight.
Wigan Warriors hooker Michael McIlorum has been suspended for three matches after an RFL Disciplinary Tribunal found him guilty of committing a Grade C reckless high tackle in a First Utility Super League fixture against Castleford Tigers on Sunday March 9.
McIlorum, who pleaded not guilty to the offence, was deemed to have executed the reckless high tackle on Kirk Dixon of Castleford in the 10th minute of the match. He was also fined £300.
It means he will miss the visit to Warrington Wolves on March 20.
Castleford Tigers player Justin Carney pleaded guilty to a Grade A punching offence on John Bateman of Wigan Warriors in the seventh minute of the same fixture. He was fined £300 and warned about his future conduct.
The following players were also suspended after submitting Early Guilty Pleas:
Rapira will now miss Friday's game against Wolves.
Louis Anderson (Catalan Dragons) – one match ban for Grade B offence of making dangerous contact on Wakefield Trinity Wildcats player Taulima Tautai in the 16th minute of the fixture at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium on Sunday March 9.
