Wigan Warriors prop Liam Byrne receives huge charge as Tyler Dupree also banned for separate incident

Wigan Warriors prop Liam Byrne is set for a hefty suspension after being slapped with a Grade E charge for Head Contact by the RFL's Match Review Panel. The Wigan prop was sent off for the incident in Good Friday's defeat to St Helens, with the front rower catching Saints centre Mark Percival, who subsequently failed his HIA.

Byrne will face an independent tribunal hearing later this week. He faces a 3-5 match ban. Fellow Wigan front rower Tyler Dupree has also been banned for one game.

However, Dupree's suspension isn't for the yellow card offence he picked up in St Helens, but for a different incident that has been deemed worthy of a Grade C Head Contact charge. The incident that saw him sin-binned for leading with his forearm has received no further action.

In what was a fierce contest, Saints prop Matty Lees has also felt the full force of the MRP, with a Grade C Head Contact charge coming his way. He has been handed a two-match suspension.

Elsewhere, Warrington Wolves prop Paul Vaughan has been banned for two games following a Grade C Dangerous Lift charge. He was sin-binned at the time during Wire's defeat to Catalans Dragons.

Leeds Rhinos, Wire's next opponent, have also been hit with a double ban after their win at Castleford Tigers. Prop forward Justin Sangare has received a Grade C Charge for Head Contact, whereas Cameron Smith has landed a Grade B Dangerous Contact charge. Both players have received one-game suspensions, with Smith getting the full end of the sanction.

Huddersfield forward Harvey Livett has also been hit with a Grade B Head Contact charge following their win at London Broncos. He has received no suspension but has been fined £250. No charges followed the games between Hull KR and Hull FC and Salford Red Devils and Leigh Leopards.
