Charges following fractious Hull derby

HULL KR duo Ben Cockayne and Liam Watts along with Hull FC forwards Danny Tickle and Sam Moa have all been charged with fighting following the mass brawl that erupted in last week's derby.

They will face the RFL's disciplinary committee this evening.

Hull's Jordan Tansey and Hull KR's Jason Netherton were cautioned for running into the fight and pushing opponents in the melee while Moa also received a caution for a high tackle on Michael Dobson.

Meanwhile, Hull KR suffered a further blow yesterday when Melbourne Storm stand-off Brett Finch turned down their contract offer in favour of a two-year deal with Wigan who also confirmed international forwards Ryan Hoffman and Kiwi prop Jeff Lima will be joining from the NRL club in 2011.
