Liam Horne of Castleford Tigers has been suspended for six matches after being found guilty by an independent Operational Rules Tribunal of Grade E unnecessary contact with a player who is injured or may be injured in Saturday’s Betfred Super League fixture against Wigan Warriors.
Horne, who pleaded not guilty, has also been fined – and 36 points will be added to his disciplinary record.
Rhyse Martin of Hull KR pleaded guilty to a Grade A charge of head contact in last Friday’s Betfred Super League fixture against Wakefield Trinity, but an additional Grade E charge of unnecessary contact, to which he pleaded not guilty, was not proven. He therefore has 1 penalty point added to his disciplinary record.
