David Mead (Catalans) - Running in
*In respect of the Kenny Edwards Other Contrary Behaviour Charge, the Match Review Panel elected to refer this to the Operational Rules Tribunal under section 3.4 of the Sentencing Guidelines.
The rationale behind this is that, due to the obscure nature of the charge, and there being no comparable evidence in which for the Panel to compare, it was deemed appropriate to issue a direct referral for consideration rather than issue a Penalty Notice.
The offence occurred on the pitch and therefore has been charged under the Onfield Sentencing Guidelines.
The off field, crowd misconduct case has been opened separate to this charge and will be dealt with by a compliance investigator.
