The RFL’s match review panel today (Monday) issued penalty points over five incidents from Rhinos’ 42-12 win against Bradford at AMT Headingley, with one Leeds player being charged twice and a Bulls man also among those punished.
Trinity forward Matty Storton has also learned his fate after being sent-off, for the second time this season, during last Friday’s 52-14 hammering of Castleford Tigers. Players have until noon tomorrow to challenge the panel’s verdict, with any appeals being held later that day.
Penalty points remain on a player’s record for 12 months, but are reduced once a punishment has been served. Here are all the charges and points issued following Betfred Super League round 19.
