Catalans hooker Michael McIlorum given lengthy ban
CATALANS hooker Michael McIlorum will miss the Super League semi-final against Saints on Friday.
He pleaded guilty to the high tackle against Brad Dwyer of Leeds, but challenged the grading.
The operational rules tribunal upheld that grading and imposed a two-match suspension.
He pleaded guilty to the 'other contrary behaviour' charge for lifting Dwyer up after that tackle, but again challenged the grading, and in this case it was downgraded to a D.
He was, however, handed a further four matches, meaning he will miss six matches.
