Three Leeds Rhinos players have been warned over incidents in Sunday's 30-4 Betfred Super League defeat by Hull.

The Rugby Football League's match review panel issued cautions to Rhinos centre Konrad Hurrell (use of knee on Jordan Johnstone in the third minute), prop Matt Prior (intentional trip on Josh Jones after 13 minutes) and substitute hooker Richie Myler (reactionary trip on Josh Griffin after 62 minutes).

Hull's Ratu Naulago (other contrary behaviour) and Liligiifo Sao (dangerous contact) were also cautioned, both for incidents involving Rhinos' Ash Handley in the fourth minute of the game.

Of Naulago, the panel notes stated: "Player aggressively taps opponent on the head on the ground twice. Action is unnecessary and provokes opponent."

Castleford Tigers' Peter Mata'utia received a two-match penalty notice for grade B dangerous contact in his side's win over Toronto Wolfpack, ruling him out of the home game against Wigan Warriors on Friday and the following weekend's trip to Catalans Dragons.

The tackle was a "late hit" on Jon Wilkin in the 56th minute.

Warrington Wolves prop Chris Hill will miss three matches - including the round three trip to Wakefield Trinity on February 16 - after being sent-off for a grade C high tackle in last week's loss to Wigan.
