Former NRL star accused of fingering rival’s bum

Former NRL star Kenny Edwards faces a hefty ban after being accused of putting his finger up an opponent’s bum.

The Huddersfield back rower was placed on report during Thursday’s heavy defeat against the Catalans Dragons, as reported by The Sun.

Now he could face the most severe disciplinary charge after Sam Kasiano claimed he attempted a DIY proctological exam on the field.

Edwards, 31, has been hit with a Grade F charge of “other contrary behaviour”. If proven, Charge F carries a ban of at least eight matches but could be for a period of time.

Last year, Catalans’ Joel Tomkins was given eight matches for a similar offence.

Huddersfield's Kenny Edwards has been hit with a Grade F disciplinary charge of 'other contrary behaviour' after Thursday's defeat to Catalans Dragons.

If found guilty, he faces a ban of at least eight matches.

Edwards will face a tribunal in the week, likely to be on Wednesday because of a round of Super League matches taking place over the next 72 hours.

And he would still be clear to play for Huddersfield against Castleford on Tuesday if his hearing has not taken place by then.

A hefty suspension would be the last thing Giants coach Ian Watson would need as his side is ravaged by injuries.

He is already without Darnell McIntosh for the rest of the season but could also be missing marquee man Aidan Sezer for the remainder of 2021.

Huddersfield will try to claim salary cap compensation from the Rugby Football League if he needs year-ending surgery on an ankle injury as it was picked up playing for the Combined Nations All Stars against England.
