Ligi Sao was sent off for his swinging arm high tackle on Jake Mamo in Hull's loss to Cas
Hull FC prop Ligi Sao has been given a three-game ban and a £500 fine after being found guilty of striking in their Super League game against Castleford.
Sao was dismissed in Friday's defeat for a high-shot on Jake Mamo, and was subsequently cited for the incident following the review.
The 29-year-old had just returned from a two-game ban for the Tigers game, after a Grade B incident against Leeds.
He will now miss their matches versus Toulouse, Huddersfield and St Helens.
There were also one-match bans handed out to six players following the weekend's Super League action.
Castleford's Mamo has successfully appealed a ban for a Grade B charge of disputing a referee's decision, though Hull opponent Connor Wynne must serve his suspension for the same offence.
Hull KR prop Korbin Sims was handed a Grade B dangerous contact notice after their win over Warrington, while Huddersfield centre Leroy Cudjoe and Toulouse prop Daniel Alvaro had the same charge and grading.
Wakefield forward Kelepi Tanginoa also received a one-game ban for dangerous contact but on a A grading.
