Catalans Dragons outside back banned for Hull FC clash
Catalans Dragons will be without centre Arthur Romano against Hull FC this Saturday afternoon. The Black and Whites host the French side in their final game of the year, with the Catalans star banned for one match.
Romano has been charged for a Grade B Head Contact. He has received the higher end of the charge and will miss the Hull clash. He is one of just two suspensions handed out this week, with the other being Hull KR captain, as exclusively reported by Rugby League Live earlier this Monday afternoon.
Minchella has been handed a two-match penalty notice for Grade C Head Contact for a challenge on Leigh Leopards full-back and has also received the higher end of the charge. The club have confirmed that they will contest the grading of the charge.
