Huddersfield Giants forwards Andre Savelio and Sam Hewitt have been handed two-match bans that will see them miss upcoming Super League home games against Salford and Leeds.
Savelio, 29, was suspended by the Rugby Football League’s match review panel after being shown a red card for a shoulder charge on Leigh Leopards’ Robbie Mulhern just under an hour into their game on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Hewitt, 25, is suspended after being found guilty of a punching charge from the same game.
The Giants sacked head coach Ian Watson on Thursday as the side continue to struggle for results, with Saturday’s defeat their fourth consecutive Super League loss.
Elsewhere, Leigh hooker Edwin Ipape has received a one-match ban for dangerous contact against Giants, while Adam Keighran will miss Wigan’s trip to Hull FC after being given a one-match suspension for a dangerous throw/lift in the win over St Helens.
