All the charges come at Grade B or higher, with Hull captain Gareth Ellis and Hull KR forward Justin Poore both cited for Grade C offences.
Ellis has been sanctioned for a shoulder charge on Widnes captain Kevin Brown, while Poore has been charged for a dangerous throw on Bradford’s Matty Blythe.
Former England international Ellis can submit an early guilty plea by 11am on Tuesday but Poore, who has already been banned this season, cannot and must face the Rugby Football League.
Two St Helens players have also been reprimanded ahead of their side’s top-of-the-table showdown with Leeds.
Kyle Amor has been given a Grade B charge for a reckless high tackle against Wakefield and can make an early plea, while Jon Wilkin cannot for a similar offence in the same game.
Widnes’ Willie Isa has also been given a Grade B citing for recklessly striking Hull’s Aaron Heremaia.
The League also announced that six players had been given formal warnings.
B Grade offences carry one-to-two-match bans, with a two-to-three-match tarriff on Grade C ones.
