and live on Freeview channel 276
The RFL’s match review panel issued a two-match penalty notice after charging Prior with a reckless high tackle in last Saturday’s win at Catalans Dragons.
Prior was sent-off by referee Chris Kendall just moments after returning from a spell in the sin-bin.

He will miss Sunday’s visit of Salford Red Devils and the game at Hull KR five days later.
Prior also missed two matches after being charged with tripping in a home defeat of Hull KR in April and one game following a high tackle when Rhinos lost to Hull the previous month.
The 35-year-old was the third Leeds player sent off in a Super League game this season.

Second-rower James Bentley was dismissed in the round one loss to Warrington Wolves and prop Zane Tetevano will be available for this Sunday’s visit of Salford Red Devils after completing a five-match suspension following a red card in a defeat at St Helens in June.
Another front-rower, Tom Holroyd, has two matches left to serve of a 10-game ban imposed after a dismissal playing on loan for Bradford Bulls in May.
Prop Muizz Mustapha was sent-off in a reserves fixture the same month, but has completed his five-game stand-down.
As well as the dismissals, Rhinos have had 17 yellow cards since their opening pre-season fixture and picked up another eight charges over incidents spotted by the match review panel.
