Willie Isa has been handed a two-match ban for a dangerous tackle in Wigan's 24-6 derby defeat by St Helens on Sunday.

Isa, who was sin-binned for the challenge on Saints centre Mark Percival, was charged by the Rugby Football League's match review panel with a Grade C offence.

He was also placed on report for bundling over Percival off the ball, but the panel decided the incident merited no further action.

Wigan second-rower Kai Pearce-Paul was also sin-binned in the match for a late tackle on full-back Lachlan Coote for which the panel issued him with a caution.
