Flanagan could be banned for eight games after “attack to the testicles”
Bradford hooker George Flanagan could face a ban of eight games or more after being charged with a Grade F “attack to the testicles” in the defeat to Toronto.
Flanagan, 32, was caught on camera appearing to make contact with Wolfpack full-back Hakim Miloudi in the first half.

Referee Scott Mikalauskas placed the incident on report during the game, and Flanagan will now attend an independent operational rules hearing.
England forward Sam Burgess was banned for two games in 2013 for a “squirrel grip” on Will Chambers.
