Manu, who limped off with an ankle injury before the end of Friday's game, was on Monday charged by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel with a grade C offence which carries a ban of two to three matches.

"He has been withdrawn from the Tonga squad pending suspension," said a Hull spokesman.

Manu, who has started each of Hull's 12 matches so far this year, does not have the option of submitting an early guilty plea and, therefore, will face a hearing in Leeds on Tuesday.

St Helens prop Adam Walker was charged with a grade An offence of punching during his side's 28-6 win over Leigh and Catalans Dragons scrum-half Luke Walsh is accused of using foul language to a match official during his side's 30-10 defeat at Wakefield, also a grade A offence.

Warrington stand-off Kevin Brown, who arrived in Sydney on Monday morning to link up with the England squad ahead of Saturday's Test match against Samoa, received a caution for a dangerous throw in the match at Hull.
