Leeds forward Stevie Ward and Warrington hooker Daryl Clark have both been charged with punching offences arising from last Friday's Betfred Super League match at Headingley.

The pair were sin-binned an hour into the Rhinos' 40-0 victory and have been charged with grade B offences by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel.

Ward has the option of submitting an early-guilty plea but Clark, who served a one-match ban earlier in the season for striking, must face a disciplinary hearing in Leeds on Tuesday.

Clark's team-mate Joe Philbin will also appear before the disciplinary panel to answer a grade A charge of dangerous contact arising from the same game.
