TWO scrum-halves, Paul Bishop of Halifax and Sean Devine of Oldham, could face charges of bringing the game into disrepute over allegations that they provoked opposing spectators by making obscene gestures at the end of matches. Bishop's case involves the game against Castleford in which two players were sent off, and Devine's the match between Oldham and Featherstone, after which both teams were fined for brawling.
