KARL FAIRBANK'S FACES DISCIPLINARY HEARING OVER SENDING OFF

Rugby League

Karl Fairbank's Wembley place is in the balance today when he faces a disciplinary hearing after being sent off for a high tackle. The former Great Britain forward was dismissed in Bradford's match at Sheffield on Good Friday and a suspension of more than two matches will rule him out of the Challenge Cup final against St Helens on 27 April. As Fairbank is now 32, this could be his last chance of playing in a final.
