Hull KR prop James Green is facing a ban of two to three matches following his dismissal for punching during his side's 16-16 draw with Warrington.

Green was shown a red card by referee Michael Woodhead for the punch on his former Rovers team-mate Jordan Cox on Friday night and on Monday was charged by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel with a grade C offence.

He is one of five players who will appear in front of an RFL independent disciplinary tribunal at Red Hall on Tuesday.

Team-mate Ben Cockayne has been charged with a grade B dangerous tackle on Warrington prop Chris Hill during the same game while Wakefield prop Anthony England is accused of a grade B offence of a shoulder charge on St Helens captain Jon Wilkin during his side's 44-32 defeat by Saints on Sunday.

Wigan front rower Lee Mossop is facing two separate grade A tripping offences arising from his side's 26-6 win over Catalans Dragons in Perpignan.

Mossop was sin-binned for a 19th-minute trip on full-back Tony Gigot and is also charged with a similar offence in the last-minute on forward Glenn Stewart.
