Rhinos forward Sam Walters escaped a ban after being charged by the RFL's match review panel with a grade A careless high tackle during last Saturday's defeat at Toulouse Olympique.

Walters' previous good record and the fact the ball carrier dipped into the tackle meant he received a zero-game penalty notice.

Centre Harry Newman is available for Thursday’s visit of Wigan Warriors after serving a three-match ban and Muizz Mustapha has completed his five-game suspension following a red card playing for Rhinos reserves at the end of May.

Tom Holroyd still has four games to serve of a 10-match suspension after being sent-off playing on dual-registration for Bradford Bulls the same month.

Another prop, Zane Tetevano, is three games into a five-match stand-down for a dismissal against St Helens in June.

Cheyse Blair will miss Tigers' next two matches.
