Four players have been charged with punching offences during Toronto Wolfpack's stormy home game against Oxford.
Referee Brandon Robinson sent off three players and showed three yellow cards during the Canadian club's 62-12 Kingstone Press League 1 victory over the Blues in front of a 6,281 crowd at the Lamport Stadium in Toronto last Saturday.
Former Leigh and Castleford prop Jake Emmitt, who was initially sin-binned for a technical offence, was given a red card after staying on the field to throw a series of punches and has been charged with a grade C offence, which carries a suspension of two to three matches.
Stand-off Blake Wallace, who was also sent off, and winger Liam Kay, who was sin-binned, were both charged with grade B offences, along with Oxford captain Callum Windley, who was the third player shown a red card.
Toronto hooker Sean Penkywicz, whose late sin-binning meant the Wolfpack ended the game with just 10 men, has been charged with a minor grade A offence of head-butting.
The charges were brought by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel and, unless they submit early guilty pleas, the players will face a hearing in Leeds on Tuesday.
