Tadulala cited for “hair pull” incident August 18, 2009
Fiji Bati and Bradford winger Semi Tadulala has been ordered to appear before the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee for pulling the hair of an opponent in an 'off the ball ' incident.
The veteran speedster has been cited by the RFL's match review panel and charged with behaving in a manner contrary to the true spirit of the game.
Tadulala was penalised by referee Phil Bentham for tugging at the flowing blond locks of Huddersfield forward Eorl Crabtree during Bradford's 28-18 Super League win over the Giants on Sunday and, if found guilty of the grade C offence at Tuesday's hearing, faces a suspension of up to four matches, reports sportinglife.com.
Huddersfield breathed a sigh of relief when hooker Scott Moore avoided any further punishment for a late tackle on Bulls captain Paul Deacon in that match.
Moore was sin-binned and placed on report for the challenge and the match review panel decided that was sufficient punishment.
It means the player, who is on a season-long loan from St Helens, is free to play in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley on Saturday week and, if selected, Friday's Super League against his parent club.
The RFL have also sent warning letters to Harlequins scrum half Luke Gale for a high tackle on Salford full-back
Karl Fitzpatrick and Hull KR utility player Ben Cockayne for a tackle which placed undue pressure on the knee of St Helens forward Tony Puletua.
