Salford star Rangi Chase has been charged with a Grade E 'dangerous throw' and could be banned for up to eight weeks.

The Rugby Football League's match-review panel deemed the New Zealander's tackle on Huddersfield's Brett Ferres during the 18-12 victory over Huddersfield on Good Friday was illegal.

Chase, 28, will now appear before an independent disciplinary tribunal on Wednesday evening and will be joined by Salford team-mate Weller Hauraki, Widnes' Danny Tickle and Hull KR prop Mitch Allgood, who face Grade C, B and A charges respectively.

Widnes hooker Lloyd White, Warrington prop Anthony England, Hull KR back-rower Maurice Blair and Hull FC utility back Jordan Rankin have until 11am on Wednesday to submit early guilty pleas after they were charged with offences during round eight.

Chase's Red Devils currently lie in fourth place in the Super League having won three of their last four games.
