Rhinos forward James McDonnell was charged by the RFL’s match review panel with grade B other contrary behaviour (off the ball contact) in Saturday’s defeat by Castleford Tigers. He was fined £250, but not suspended.
Wakefield Trinity’s Liam Hood will miss Sunday’s visit of Rhinos after being handed a one-match penalty notice for grade B dangerous contact during the loss to Leigh Leopards in Newcastle.
His teammate Eddie Battye faces no further action over a grade A dangerous contact charge.
Castleford Tigers’ Liam Watts received a one-game suspension for grade B dangerous contact against Rhinos and will miss Friday’s home game against Salford. It is his ninth ban in 18 months.
Warrington Wolves’ Josh McGuire has been referred to a disciplinary hearing tomorrow (Tuesday) after being charged with grade F uncceptable language in the previous week’s game at Leigh.
McGuire served a seven-match ban after being sent-off and charged with an identical offence in a pre-season game against Leigh.
