Wigan Warriors’ Joel Tomkins has appealed his two-match ban from Sunday’s dismissal in the 14-12 win over Hull FC.
The England international was given his marching orders by referee Steve Ganson for striking Hull centre Kirk Yeaman with his elbow.
The same players were involved in a skirmish which sparked a brawl that saw Yeaman and Tomkins’ brother Sam collect one-match bans.
The appeal will be held later on Wednesday, when Harlequins back rower Chris Bailey and Salford prop Ray Cashmere will also face disciplinary hearings after being cited for incidents in the weekend fixtures.
