Super League disciplinary: Concerns after stars lashed out in Challenge Cup

Liam Moore sent Connor for ten, but there could be more for him, meanwhile, and Thewlis’ actions will certainly be scrutinized. Another Giants player sure to be watched is Tui Lolohea, with the Tongan playmaker dragging Matty Nicholson to the ground in the opening seconds after Connor and Thewlis’ first incident. Those actions led to the brawl.

As for Saturday’s game, two players were shown yellow, with Aussie centers Tom Opacic and Adam Keighran on the run, the ball before the bags were dropped as both men found their feet. More could be said about this, but the man who may be most at risk is Hull KR’s other centre.

Footage emerged online of Kiwi Peta Hiku aggressively falling on Jai Field before shoving his shoulder into the Aussie’s head in an incident which Hull KR academy coach Jason Netherton has since clarified on social media was not a failure, but “it should have been a red. card.”

I didn’t miss it, I didn’t need to say anything about it because it wasn’t a flop or anything to do with markers

It was direct contact with the head and should have been a red card. It’s not hard to tell, he’s not “my” player.
