Knowles was issued with a Grade C charge for a high tackle on Halifax’s Tom Inman in the final minute of the game, which Saints won 26-6.

The 26-year-old will now miss the Super League clash with Leeds Rhinos at Headingley on Friday and the following week’s game against Huddersfield Giants at Magic Weekend.

Knowles’ red card came in his first game back from a five-match ban following an incident in the Good Friday match against Wigan which ruled Mike Cooper out for the season with a knee injury.
