Mikey Lewis and Tom Davies have been charged by the Match Review Panel ahead of Hull KR's Super League opener. The reigning Man of Steel and new winger have been cited for incidents in Rovers' Challenge Cup victory over York Knights, resulting in charges.

Lewis' incident occurred in the opening minutes of the game after Lewis chased down Will Dagger after the York fullback kicked a loose ball forward. Lewis denied the try after tackling him into touch, but made contact with Dagger's head with his forearm. The incident was not picked up by the match officials during the game.

Meanwhile, Davies, has been charged for a tackle that he made when denying a try-scoring opportunity. He has been charged for a head clash that resulted in both Davies and Oli Field requiring treatment.

Both players have received a Grade B charge, however, they will not be suspended as a result. The Rugby Football League has implemented a new disciplinary system ahead of the new campaign which will see players have points added to their record, and they will be suspended once they hit certain thresholds.

For a Grade B charge, both will receive a three points, but suspensions don't kick in until a player has received six points. As a result, they are both free to play, but is now closer to receiving a suspension. Points accrued stay on a player's licence for 12 months.

Points received for each charge per grade

• Grade A: 1 point

• Grade B: 3 points

• Grade C: 5 points

• Grade D: 12 points

• Grade E: Refer to Tribunal

Suspension benchmarks

• 6-11 points: one-match ban

• 12-17 points: two matches

• 18-23 points: three matches

• 24-29 points: four matches

• 30-35 points: five matches

• 36-38 points: six matches

• 39-41 points: seven matches

• 42-44 points: eight matches

• 45-47 points: nine matches

• 48-50 points: ten matches

• 51-53 points: eleven matches

• 54+ points: twelve matches

Rovers can appeal the charge but as part of the new system, unsuccessful appeals will see an extra five points added to any charge, which is a high risk for any club considering an appeal.

They join Eribe Doro as players who have points on their licence after he received a Grade C charge following the incident that saw him sin-binned in the Amsterdam Challenge.
