In trouble: Lauitiiti faces action following Leeds' game at Huddersfield

Leeds forward Ali Lauitiiti is in trouble over an off-the-ball striking incident and a reckless high tackle during the derby at Huddersfield.

Castleford hooker Scott Moore, on loan from St Helens, also faces two charges, for a dangerous throw and a reckless tackle, in the game against Catalans Dragons.

Also summoned to the tribunal are St Helens forward Lee Gilmour, Hull KR veteran Stanley Gene, Bradford forward Glenn Morrison, Harlequins prop Danny Ward and Warrington prop Steve Pickersgill.

Offences are now graded from A to F in order of seriousness and although none of the 16 allegedly committed in the weekend games has been tagged higher than C, reckless tackles normally lead to a two or three-match ban.

Stephen Kearney has been named as Gary Kemble's successor as New Zealand coach. Former Hull forward Kearney, who played 45 Tests for the Kiwis, has signed a two-year contract.
