Castleford winger Justin Carney and Warrington full-back Matty Russell have been given formal cautions for foul play.

Carney was warned after striking debutant Brad Fash during his side's 21-18 defeat at Hull on Sunday, while Russell was cautioned after making dangerous contact on Wakefield prop Nick Scruton in the 40-20 win over the Wildcats.

No charges were brought against any players from round 21 of the First Utility Super League by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel.

The panel will meet on Tuesday to consider an appeal by Hull prop Mickey Paea against a two-match ban imposed a week ago for a dangerous tackle.

Australian Carney could feature in Sunday’s clash with the Wildcats, while Russell may play in Warrington’s next game against St Helens on Thursday.
