Toronto back-rower Jon Wilkin has been issued with a one-match penalty notice for swearing at a match official during Sunday’s game against Rochdale.
The former St Helens star will subsequently be suspended for the Wolfpack’s visit to Leigh Centurions a week on Sunday.
Wilkin has played in Toronto’s first two games and will be a big miss for Brian McDermott’s side in a potentially difficult trip to one of their promotion rivals.
Leigh winger Jonny Pownall will also be banned for the clash at the Leigh Sports Village after receiving a one-match penalty notice for questioning the integrity of the match official during Sunday’s defeat to Halifax.
Pownall played 32 times for the Wolfpack, scoring 31 tries in a two-year spell, but he will now miss next week’s match against his former club.
Disciplinary round-up:
Brandon Moore (Halifax) – Grade A Punching – 0 Match Penalty Notice
Jonny Pownall (Leigh) – Grade B Questioning Integrity of Match Official – 1 Match Penalty Notice
Dan Fleming (Halifax) – Grade A Strikes with knee – 0 Match Penalty Notice
James Green (Bradford) – Grade C Dangerous Contact – 2 Match Penalty Notice
Jon Wilkin (Toronto) – Grade B Foul Language to Match Official – 1 Match Penalty Notice
The following player has been cautioned:
Paddy Jones (Swinton) – Dangerous Contact

WILKIN SUSPENDED FOR SWEARING AT OFFICIAL
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
