Overview
- The Rugby Football League issued a disciplinary bulletin that included 22 charges and gave Tevita Pangai‑Junior a Grade F gouging finding that carries 36 penalty points and a six‑match ban plus a fine.
- The RFL published the sanctions on Monday, June 29, listing Pangai‑Junior among four players to receive suspensions from that set of charges.
- Hull KR announced it will not challenge the ruling, so the suspension will begin with the Magic Weekend derby against Hull FC and leave the forward unavailable until the home game with Catalans Dragons on 13 August.
- Pangai‑Junior joined Hull KR in May on a short‑term deal and had made only a handful of appearances, so the ban removes a recent signing from more than half of the club's remaining regular‑season matches.
- The bulletin also named other bans and fines across Super League clubs and cleared some welfare‑focused incidents, showing the RFL is actively policing dangerous contact this season.
