Wigan Warriors prop Liam Byrne has been banned for four games after being found guilty of a Grade E charge for head contact in their defeat by St Helens.

Byrne, 24, who has also been fined 拢750, was sent off after catching Saints' Mark Percival in the head in their 12-4 Super League loss on Friday.

Percival failed a head injury assessment following the tackle.

Fellow Wigan prop Tyler Dupree has a one-game ban after his appeal against a Grade C charge was unsuccessful.
