McGoldrick faces charge for his shove on referee
The Australian utility back, who went straight into the Hull side within hours of joining from Castleford last Friday, has been charged by the Rugby Football League’s match-review panel of making deliberate physical contact with Roby during his side’s 21-6 defeat at Headingley.
He pushed Roby out of the way as he attempted to make a tackle early in the second half.

Earlier this season, Leeds players Brent Webb and Ryan Bailey were both charged with pushing referee Richard Silverwood. Bailey was given a three-match ban while Webb escaped with a warning.
