Castleford Tigers prop Sylvester Namo is facing a lengthy ban after receiving a grade F charge for dangerous contact.

Namo was involved in the tackle that left Wigan Warriors back-rower Willie Isa nursing a serious ankle injury, with the incident put on report by referee Liam Moore during yesterday's Challenge Cup quarter-final at Wheldon Road. The match review panel has deemed the challenge worthy of the most serious charge, meaning Namo will attend a tribunal on Tuesday evening.

It is another blow for the Tigers after being without 12 injured players for the 60-6 drubbing by Wigan. The teams meet again in Super League this Friday at the DW Stadium. Catalans Dragons forward Bayley Sironen has also been referred to the tribunal on a grade E head contact charge. If found guilty, Sironen is likely to face a ban of between three and five matches.
