The Match Review Panel has today ordered Tomkins to face a tribunal and, if found guilty, the 31-year-old could be banned for three to five matches.
Fijian winger Ratu Naulago, who scored two tries on his Super League debut in Hull FC’s win over Wigan Warriors, was charged with a Grade A contact on a match official but received a zero match penalty notice.
Likewise, Wigan hooker Tommy Leuluai received the same for a Grade A dangerous contact and London Broncos’ Nathan Mason for a Grade A trip in their loss at home to Castleford Tigers.
