Wigan Warriors make Adam Keighran and Tyler Dupree appeal decisions ahead of Challenge Cup Final

Adam Keighran and Tyler Dupree will miss the Challenge Cup Final after Wigan Warriors decided against an appeal of the charges imposed by the Match Review Panel. The two players were handed Grade D charges by the Match Review Panel, which came with three-match suspensions.

The Warriors had the right to appeal and take the cases to a tribunal today. However, Rugby League Live understands the club has decided against that option, meaning the two players will miss Saturday's Wembley showdown with Warrington Wolves.

Keighran was red-carded in Wigan's Super League victory over the Wire on Saturday and was charged with head contact. Head coach Matt Peet revealed that he had apologised to Keighran for his post-match comments after reviewing the tackle in further detail.

Meanwhile, Dupree has been banned for a headbutt, which was not penalised during the game but retrospectively cited. As well as missing Saturday's final, they will also be unavailable for Super League games against Castleford Tigers and London Broncos.

It is a blow for Wigan, who will now be without two players who, collectively, have only missed three games all season. Both played in the World Club Challenge victory over Penrith Panthers and the Challenge Cup victory over Hull KR.

It also ensures Dupree won't be able to complete a unique accomplishment. The England prop has won three trophies in 24 appearances since a mid-season move last year, and he would have been able to secure a full set in 25 games had Wigan been victorious on Saturday.
