Farrell to appear before RFL

Wigan back-row forward Liam Farrell will face the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee on Tuesday charged with a dangerous tackle on Huddersfield centre Leroy Cudjoe.

The incident happened on the stroke of half-time during the Warriors' opening Stobart Super League match against the Giants, which they lost 20-16.

Farrell, who was also given a caution for use of the forearm on Huddersfield hooker Luke Robinson, was charged by the RFL's match-review panel with a grade B offence, which carries a suspension of up to two games.

The panel also issued a formal caution to Bradford loose forward Jamie Langley for tripping Catalan Dragons scrum-half Scott Dureau during his side's 34-12 home defeat.
