Tadulala to face RFL disciplinary committee
Related Articles
18 January 2009
The Fiji international has been cited by the RFL's match review panel and charged with behaving in a manner contrary to the true spirit of the game.
Tadulala was penalised by referee Phil Bentham for tugging at the flowing blond locks of Huddersfield forward Eorl Crabtree during Bradford's 28-18 Super League win over the Giants on Sunday and, if found guilty of the grade C offence at Tuesday's hearing, faces a suspension of up to four matches.
Huddersfield breathed a sigh of relief when hooker Scott Moore avoided any further punishment for a late tackle on Bulls captain Paul Deacon in that match.
Moore was sin-binned and placed on report for the challenge and the match review panel decided that was sufficient punishment.
It means the player, who is on a season-long loan from St Helens, is free to play in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley on Saturday week and, if selected, Friday's Super League encounter against his parent club.
Meanwhile, Catalans Dragons second-row forward Cyrille Gossard has been charged with a grade C reckless grapple tackle on Hull winger Tom Briscoe during his side's 18-6 win in Beziers on Saturday.
Wakefield scrum-half Danny Brough will also face the disciplinary committee following his dismissal for using foul and abusive language to referee James Child during the Wildcats' 46-12 victory over Celtic Crusaders.
Hull second row Danny Tickle has received a caution for a high tackle on Catalans prop Remi Casty, while Warrington prop Michael Cooper has been cautioned for a high tackle on Wigan winger Pat Richards.
The RFL have also sent warning letters to Harlequins scrum-half Luke Gale for a high tackle on Salford full-back Karl Fitzpatrick and Hull KR utility player Ben Cockayne for a tackle which placed undue pressure on the knee of St Helens forward Tony Puletua.
