SAINTS packman Morgan Knowles was sent off in the last minute of the Challenge Cup win at Halifax.
Knowles, who was playing prop in his first game back from a five-match suspension, caught Halifax’s Tom Inman with a high tackle as he chased across.
It sparked a flare up with the Halifax players immediately running in to remonstrate with Knowles.
It will be looked at by the Match Review Panel on Monday and if found guilty Knowles will face another spell on the sidelines.
"That was a bad one, and they're all in there now!" 👀

Coach Paul Wellens had not seen a replay of the incident before he did his immediate post-match briefing on the field at the Shay.
He said: “I haven’t seen it again yet, to be honest. Obviously it's a disappointing one for us - the sending off - and again before I comment any further I'd like to watch it back again.
“It’s a difficult one for me to comment on at the moment but I assume Morgan is disappointed.”
