Warrington's Garreth Carvell given one-match ban, Adrian Morely cleared

Warrington escaped lightly from tonight's Rugby Football League disciplinary hearing as their captain, Adrian Morley, avoided suspension and his fellow England prop Garreth Carvell received only a one-match ban following incidents in last Saturday's Super League victory at Castleford. However, the Wolves are still expected to appeal against Carvell's suspension in the hope that he can join Morley in the team for next Saturday's top‑three derby against Wigan. Morley, a renowned enforcer, had a bad disciplinary record for much of his career in England and Australia but has generally cleaned up his act since returning from the Sydney Roosters to Warrington three years ago, and was found not guilty of the alleged high tackle on the Castleford scrum-half Brent Sherwin for which he was put on report. Carvell was found guilty of leading dangerously with his forearm to fell the Castleford prop Paul Jackson early in the game, but the one-match suspension was at the lower end of the range of penalties open to the disciplinary committee. Warrington did not believe that either player even had a case to answer, with their assistant coach James Lowes suggesting before the hearing that the fact that the Castleford game was televised "maybe helped them to pick on it a little bit". Lowes said that Mike Cooper, a promising prop who played in last year's Challenge Cup final triumph, is likely to come into the squad as cover for Carvell. David Solomona, the ball-playing Samoan ­forward who usually operates in the back-row, could also move up to prop with Lowes expecting him to recover from the injury that ruled him out at Castleford. Wigan's coach, Michael Maguire, confirmed that Amos Roberts will switch from the wing to full-back to replace Cameron Phelps, who will be out for around a month with ankle ligament damage. Maguire has still to decide whether to recall Shaun ­Ainscough from Widnes, for whom he made a try-scoring debut against Barrow last Sunday under the new dual-registration arrangements, or to call up Darrell Goulding to replace Roberts on the wing. Maguire hinted that his long-term planning for the full-back position could involve Gareth Widdop, a youngster from Halifax whose family emigrated to Australia several years ago, and who has returned to England as a member of the Melbourne Storm squad for the World Club Challenge against Leeds on Sunday week. "Gareth has spent some time around Wigan before and we'd like to see him with us at some stage," added Maguire, who was a member of the Melbourne coaching staff before joining Wigan last winter. "He's a very talented player, and he's got a great teacher in Billy Slater." Widdop is expected to play in the Storm's warm-up game against Harlequins at the Stoop next Sunday. Blackwood ­Bulldogs, the first Welsh amateur club to reach the third round of the Challenge Cup, have been drawn away at Oldham. The Super League clubs enter the competition at the fourth-round stage.
