The loose forward has been handed a one-match penalty notice for a Grade B Dangerous Contact in the Good Friday Derby against St Helens at the DW Stadium.

The official reasoning stated: “Defender uses any part of their body forcefully to twist, bend or otherwise apply pressure to the limb or limbs of an opposing player in a way that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to that player.”

Meanwhile, Bevan French has also received a caution under ‘other contrary behaviour’ for using his feet in a tackle.
