Gareth Hock (right) tackles Mose Masoe of St Helens during last Thursday’s game
Salford Red Devils forward Gareth Hock faces two charges of recklessly using his knees during their Super League defeat by St Helens.
The more serious Grade C charge arises out of a 53rd-minute incident involving Tommy Makinson of Saints.
And the 31-year-old has also been charged with a Grade B offence towards Mose Masoe a few minutes later as Salford
Hock will appear at a disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday evening.
An independent panel will also consider charges against five other players following the second weekend of games in the new season – Catalans’s Eloi Pelissier and Olivier Elima, Castleford’s Jake Webster, Sam Powell of Wigan and Huddersfield prop forward Eorl Crabtree.
