Due to an administrative error, Hull Seahawks fielded an ineligible coach after exceeding 50 team penalty points (per Discipline Policy 6.3) on Saturday 8 February.

As a result, the coach received a two-game suspension under section 9.6.

Following an independent appeals review, the panel upheld the original sanctions:

• Peterborough awarded a 5-0 win (Mandatory, Section 12.8)
• Team coach receives an additional two-game suspension (Section 12.6)
• Hull Seahawks incur 10 more team penalty points (Section 12.7)

Clubs are reminded that monitoring penalty points is their responsibility, and exceeding thresholds leads to suspensions (Section 6.3).
