Every Super League 2024 red card and respective ban- Serious About Rugby League

Quiz: How many of these 15 Super League questions can you get right?

Liam Byrne (Wigan Warriors – Round Six) – Four games

Byrne was shown red in the Good Friday derby for his high tackle on head contact with ball carrier Mark Percival. Handed a Grade E charge, Byrne was suspended for four matches.

King Vuniyayawa (Salford Red Devils – Round Eight) – No Ban

The Salford man was the second player to be sent off and received no further punishment after being booked for his part in a spiked tackle. The match review panel held that he never raised his foot above the hoop and was not “solely responsible for the mechanics of the tackle and cannot be attributed solely to placing the opponent in a dangerous position”.

Elliot Wallis (Huddersfield Giants – Round Ten) – No ban

Like Vuniywa and Nu Brown, Elliot Wallis received no further punishment for his red card. The winger was sent off for rough contact after placing his head on Tim Lafai, but it was far from a header and as such saw no further punishment.

Tommy Makinson (St Helens – Round 11) – One game

Makingson was shown a controversial red card just 15 minutes into St Helens’ huge 60-4 win over Castleford Tigers, but was handed a one-match ban for his late tackle which caused him to make contact with the head to Tex Hoy.

Liam Horne (Castleford Tigers – Round Eleven) – One game

Horne’s dismissal was the turning point of the game as St Helens scored 46 points on the half hour when Cas went down to 12 men. The PNG star was shown red for his tackle and served a one-match ban.

Adam Keighran (Wigan Warriors – Round 13) – TBD

Keighran is the last man to be sent and will learn his fate tomorrow. Only three of the last eleven players to be shown red escaped without a ban, and those charged with a high kick and contact with the head, as Keighran will be, were each given four-match bans. Anything less would likely come down to his good record, but it certainly won’t be enough to avoid a ban for next week’s Challenge Cup final.
