The Super League disciplinary process has sparked fears for Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors men

It was a brilliant performance and one that might suggest it is in fact ‘Warrington’s Year’. Meanwhile, a day later, Wigan Warriors saw their 10-match winning streak come to an end as Hull FC upset the odds and beat them 24-22.

It marked one of three games in this round of Super League in which a bottom-half side has beaten a top-half side, the first instance coming on Friday night when Huddersfield Giants finally broke their losing streak .

Under interim coach Luke Robinson, the Giants went 16-8, with the former player putting his hat firmly in the ring for the full-time job in his postgame presser, explaining that he “wants the job.”

The other upset came on Sunday as Castleford Tigers beat Catalans Dragons to mark a third straight win for Craig Lingard’s side. After racing to an 18-0 lead only to be pulled away, star quarterback Tex Hoy scored the late winner to help them to another brilliant victory.

The Catalans had the chance to cement their place in the play-offs after defeat to Salford on Friday and defeat to Leeds Rhinos on Saturday, with Hull KR handing Brad Arthur a debut defeat as the Robins won 20-12.

The remaining game saw Leigh Leopards thrash London Broncos 36-6, with Adrian Lam spending much of his press time answering questions about the future of his son Lachlan.

When the Super League disciplinary process gets underway, all eyes will be on the verdict handed down to both James Harrison and Tyler Dupree after they were shown red and yellow respectively for their clubs.

Forward Matty Nicholson was also booked for a professional foul when he pulled James Bell back to potentially prevent a try, but the officials felt Bell was not sure he would score, so no try was awarded penalty, Nicholson was able to escape.

However, bans could be in store for Harrison and Dupree. Over the course of the season, Super League’s disciplinary process got away from head contact, for which Harrison was sent off, while spiked tackles have recently attracted bans, which is why Dupree is concerned.

Both Brad Singleton and Davy Litten were also shown yellow for high tackles, with Litten around the neck of Wigan star Jack Farrimond as he burst through midfield, the tackle more characteristic of panic and fatigue than malice.

Sadiq Adebiyi also saw yellow for his late tackle on Gaz O’Brien and he too will learn his fate later today.
