Leeds Rhinos and Castleford Tigers hit by player ban
Rhinos prop Nathaniel Peteru has been handed a one-match suspension for a grade B dangerous lift in the Good Friday win over Huddersfield Giants.
Peteru, who was sin-binned following the incident involving Giants’ Oliver Russell, is available for Monday’s derby at Wakefield Trinity, but will miss the visit of Hull KR six days later.

Castleford forward Junior Moors received a one-game ban for the grade B offence of dropping with his knees on to Wakefield Trinity’s Ben Jones-Bishop in the 77th minute of Tigers’ victory last Thursday.
He can play at Catalans Dragons on Monday, but will miss the following Saturday’s game away to Wigan Warriors.
Both players were charged by the Rugby Football League’s match review panel.
