Craven free to play

Danny Craven, the clever Oldham half, is free to play in Sunday's big game.

That magnificent news came out of a disciplinary tribunal, after which the RFL posted on its website  that Craven had successfully challenged the grading, E, of the charge against him for alleged use of 'foul and abusive language'.

The charge was re-graded C, meaning a one-match suspension which Craven served in last week-end's  match against North Wales Crusaders, the case having been deferred  from the previous Tuesday. Craven has also been fined £75.

Kyle Kesik of Keighley was found guilty of an offence in another game and was suspended for four games.
