Disciplinary news: 3 Leeds Rhinos men & Hull KR pair charged after Super League showdown in Las Vegas
Three Leeds Rhinos players have been charged by the RFL’s match review panel following Saturday’s big win against Hull KR in Las Vegas.

The trio were each handed one penalty point - their first in 12 months - and face no further action so are available for Sunday’s derby with Castleford Tigers at AMT Headingley.
