Catalan Dragons centre Ben Pomeroy was sent-off for the second home Super League game in a row after a WWE-style suplex tackle on Ashley Gibson forced the Castleford wing Ashley Gibson.

Pomeroy has only just returned from a suspension for a shoulder charge on St Helens’ Josh Jones in the Dragons’ previous home game on 8 August.

While Pomeroy was given his marching orders for flipping the Castleford player onto his head, Gibson had to be carried off after receiving treatment, but he was fit enough to travel back with his Castleford team-mates after suffering whiplash.

Pomeroy took to Twitter to thank fans that had sent messages of support. He said: “Thank you for the message! I’m all good…just a bit of whiplash thank god.!

Pomeroy now faces a lengthy ban for his latest discrepancy, which looked more common in the wrestling ring than on the rugby field.

Despite the loss of Pomeroy when Catalans were leading 20-0, the French outfit went on to win 44-26 winners and deal the Tigers a major blow in their quest to reach the Super League semi-finals.
