Disciplinary news as Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers men charged by match review panel & Hull KR star banned

The duo are among seven players handed penalty points following Betfred Super League round 11, with one being accused of two separate offences. One of the competition’s big names received a grade D charge and is facing a two-match ban.

Players have until noon tomorrow (Tuesday) to challenge the review panel’s verdict and any appeals will be held later that afternoon/evening. An unsuccessful appeal automatically results in an additional five penalty points, meaning an extra one-match suspension on top of the previous punishment.

Suspensions begin when a player reaches six points, with the length of the ban increasing by one game for every additional six – so a two-match ban kicks in at 12 points, three matches at 18 and so on. Grade E offences result in an immediate referral to an operational rules tribunal, with a tariff to begin at a six-match suspension.

When an offence adds points to a player’s record leading to either a fine or a suspension, the number of points for that offence will be reduced by 50 per cent. Here’s all the latest charges.
