John Bateman handed one-match ban

Wigan Warriors forward John Bateman is handed a one-match ban after being sent off in the closing stages of their Easter Monday clash with Salford Red Devils.

Wigan Warriors forward John Bateman has been handed a one-match ban after being sent off during his side's match against Salford Red Devils on Easter Monday.

Bateman was involved in a personal feud with Weller Hauraki throughout the match, with both players being sin-binned for an altercation before they were sent off two minutes from time for trading punches.

Bateman will now miss Sunday's clash against the Catalans Dragons having submitted an early guilty plea for Grade B striking.

Hauraki is likely to face a longer ban at a separate disciplinary tribunal, having also been charged with Grade C reckless striking with the shoulder in a Good Friday clash with Huddersfield Giants.

The Red Devils went on to win the game 24-18 to move up to third in the Super League table.
