Wigan captain Sean O'Loughlin has been given a one-match ban for the reckless high tackle that brought him the first dismissal of his career.
The England loose forward was shown a red card in the 38th minute of last Friday's 22-18 win over Wakefield at the DW Stadium for a tackle that felled Wildcats forward Chris Annakin.
He was charged by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel with a grade C offence which normally carries a suspension of two to three matches.
O'Loughlin had the option of submitting an early-guilty plea, which would have meant a two-game ban, but he chose to make a personal appearance, alongside Wigan assistant coach John Winder, in front of an RFL disciplinary tribunal, which on Tuesday evening imposed a one-match ban and a £300 fine.
The tribunal took into consideration O'Loughlin's guilty plea, his previous unblemished record throughout his 15-year professional career and the fact that the dismissal occurred in the first half of the match.
O'Loughlin will miss Friday's Grand Final rematch against Leeds at Headingley but will be free for Wigan's derby with St Helens, the last match of the regular season, and the Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull at Doncaster on July 29.
