Super League disciplinary issue firm Peta Hiku verdict after Hull KR man's play-off red card

Emre Guler and Peta Hiku have both been handed two-match suspensions for their actions during last week's Super League play-offs.

Both men were sent off with Guler being shown a red card for punching Leigh Leopards' Owen Trout in Wakefield Trinity's win at Belle Vue.

Hull KR's Hiku, on the other hand, met a similar fate for flicking out with a closed fist and catching Warrington Wolves' George Williams in the mouth.

Rovers lost the game at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and that means Hiku will serve the two-match ban next year once the action gets underway once more.

Guler's ban means the Türkiye international will miss the remainder of Wakefield's campaign, though.

He'll serve the first game on Saturday when the Trin head to Wigan Warriors in the play-off semi-finals and should they progress to the Grand Final, he'll miss that game as well. He'll complete the suspension in pre-season if Daryl Powell's side don't make it through at the Brick Community Stadium.

Barrow Raiders' Alex Bishop receives the only other suspension handed out this week. He gets a two-match ban for questioning the integrity of a match official during their loss to Doncaster in the Championship play-offs.

Warrington Wolves' James Harrison received a Grade C charge for head contact but a fine was deemed to be a sufficient punishment, while Luke Yates has been hit with a Grade A sanction for a dangerous throw/lift.

Mike McMeeken has been given a Grade B dangerous contact charge, and Leigh's Jack Hughes, who is retiring, has been charged for two separate incidents amounting to 3.25 points.

NRL-bound Owen Trout has also been punished with the Match Review Panel issuing a Grade A strikes charge, while KR man Elliot Minchella gets a disciplinary point for late contact.
