Confirmation From Brick Community Stadium Office About Wigan Warriors’ Star Player Banned Ahead Of St Helens Derby
Wigan Warriors have been dealt a major blow with star hooker Brad O’Neill receiving a one-match suspension ahead of the Super League derby against rivals St Helens.
The 21-year-old has been hit with a Grade B dangerous throw/lift charge by the match review panel, having been sent to the sin-bin during the 24-6 victory over Leigh Leopards for his tackle on opposition prop Robbie Mulhern.
It provides a headache for Warriors boss Matt Peet ahead of the derby, with fellow hookers Kruise Leeming and Tom Forber currently sidelined through respective injuries.
The Warriors are also still currently without star full-back Jai Field due to injury, while rising star Jack Farrimond partnered England international Harry Smith in the halves for the first time in the victory over Adrian Lam’s outfit.
Thousands swear by the productivity routine in The 3-Minute Rule book. I gave it a go to see what all the fuss was about.
Mike Cooper and Luke Thompson have been charged with Grade B head contact and Grade B dangerous contact respectively, resulting in £250 fines.
Cooper, 35, will miss Friday’s clash after failing his head injury assessment in the opening exchanges against the Leopards.
Leigh duo Mulhern and John Asiata have also been fined £250 for Grade B charges following the fiery Battle of the Borough encounter last week.
Meanwhile, Saints utility Moses Mbye has also received a one-match suspension ahead of the Round 17 clash at The Brick Community Stadium.
Warrington Wolves forward James Harrison is the third and final Super League player to have been hit with a suspension for a Grade B dangerous contact charge, with Sam Burgess’ side to host Leeds Rhinos this Thursday at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
