WIDNES Vikings forward Chris Houston has accepted a Grade B penalty offence from the RFL Match Review Panel following his sending off in the recent game at Salford Red Devils.
The panel has issued Houston with a two-match ban for ‘disputing the decision of the referee in an unnecessary manner and against the spirit of the game’.
He will be available to return for Widnes Vikings in their away fixture against St Helens on Friday 6th July.
