Josh Charnley wasn’t eligible to play as he wasn’t in the original 19 man squad and they didn’t follow the correct procedure to make him eligible to play in the 17.

A few questions:
1 - Why has this only just come to light? Surely the Match Commissioner should’ve known about this the instant it happened?
2 - Last time this happened (York IIRC) they removed York from the Cup (although when Hull (I think) did something similar - they didn’t).
3 - It kind of makes a mockery of the “name 19 system”. Personally, I’d increase it to 20 and once those 20 are named, they’re locked in. You can’t draft anyone else in.
