Luke Gale has been hit with two separate suspensions following Hull’s defeat to St Helens at the MKM Stadium.

The Hull skipper and half-back was sent from the field early in the first half on Saturday.

Charging down a kick, he caught opposition half-back Jonny Lomax with his boot that saw him sent from the field by official Chris Kendall.

He has been charged with a Grade C Other Contrary Behaviour, which will see him miss three games.

The former Leeds man has also been charged with a Grade D Other Contrary Behaviour, and has been referred to the tribunal. He could miss up to eight games for Hull.
