St Helens, Leeds Rhinos and Hull FC: Super League stars who could be in disciplinary trouble


Well, that’s another week of Super League done and dusted and what a weekend it was!

St Helens and Leeds Rhinos kicked things off on Thursday night with the former thrashing the latter, 42-12.

Wigan Warriors ended up hammering Toulouse Olympique on Friday night, with Warrington Wolves registering a quite bizarre 4-0 win over Hull FC – a game in which no tries were actually scored.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon and Salford Red Devils inflicted one of the biggest drubbings in Super League history with a 74-10 triumph against Wakefield Trinity.

Huddersfield Giants were far too good for Hull KR, who lost three men to injury within the opening 15 minutes whilst Castleford Tigers had to rely on a Danny Richardson drop goal to finally overcome Catalans Dragons in dramatic circumstances at the Jungle.

But, which Super League stars could be in disciplinary trouble?

St Helens vs Leeds Rhinos
Matty Lees (St Helens) – shoulder charge
James Bentley (Leeds Rhinos) – high tackle and other contrary behaviour
Bodene Thompson (Leeds Rhinos) – trip
Zane Tetevano (Leeds Rhinos) – dangerous tackle

Warrington Wolves vs Hull FC
Scott Taylor (Hull FC) – shoulder charge

If Lees and Taylor are found guilty, it would mean that the former would miss Saints’ away game at Catalans Dragons with the latter potentially missing out on Hull’s clash against Leeds Rhinos.

If Bentley, Thompson and Tetevano are found guilty, they would miss that fixture with the Black and Whites.

I would also expect Walmsley to be in trouble given his reaction to the Tetevano tackle

Well he is not on the list at present.

I thought he retaliated but they must have taken his examplery behaviour into account like they did with Makinson

Yes the disciplinary panel must take the name saints literally.

Well, according to the RFL, no Saints player has been summoned.

We all know Makinson isnt that type of player.....

None of them are Welsby’s had more cards than the Queen this year and still not copped a ban

Leeds Rhinos' woeful disciplinary issues continue with THREE players banned

Rohan Smith faces more selections issues as the Rhinos cop three fresh bans,

Leeds Rhinos have had THREE players banned following their heavy defeat to St Helens. Zane Tetevano faces his fifth ban in less than two seasons after receiving a Grade D striking charge that is set to see him miss three to five games.

But to compound matters, Harry Newman and Bodene Thompson have both received two-match bans for different punishments following incidents in the game. Thompson has been charged for a trip, which saw him sin-binned during the latter stages of the game. Meanwhile, Newman has been charged for Grade C aggressive behaviour towards a match official.

The game against Saints was only his third game and second start of the season after two serious injuries. He scored a spectacular solo try but the centre is now set for another spell on the sidelines.

The trio, unless any of them successfully appeal, will now all miss the upcoming games against Hull FC and Castleford Tigers, the latter of which is at Magic Weekend. Tetevano is set for a longer lay-off with his previous run-ins with Match Review Panel likely to see him receive the highest number of games under the Grade D threshold unless he can appeal.

It adds to Leeds' woeful disciplinary issues this season. The Rhinos have endured more suspensions than any other club this season.

Meanwhile, three other players have been suspended. Hull FC's Mitieli Vulikijapani has received a two-match ban for dangerous contact while Salford's Elijah Taylor and Castleford's Liam Watts have been charged, which will see them receive one-match bans.

Full list of charges issued by Match Review Panel

Zane Tetevano (Leeds) – Grade D Strikes with Hand, Arm or Shoulder – Refer to Tribunal
Harry Newman (Leeds) – Grade C Aggressive Behaviour towards Match Official – 2 Match Penalty Notice
Bodene Thompson (Leeds) – Grade B Trips – 2 Match Penalty Notice

Leeds Rhinos’ Zane Tetevano given huge ban as Harry Newman gets ban INCREASED for ‘frivolous’ appeal

Leeds Rhinos pair Zane Tetevano and Harry Newman have been banned for five and three matches respectively following independent disciplinary tribunals this evening (Tuesday 28 June).

Tetevano was sent off for a high tackle during the second half of the Rhinos’ Betfred Super League match at St Helens last week and referred to tribunal by the Match Review Panel on a grade D charge to which he pleaded guilty.

Newman pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the Match Review Panel’s grade C charge of using aggressive language or body language towards the referee in the same game. The tribunal upheld the Match Review Panel’s two match penalty notice and, finding the challenge to be frivolous, added a further match.

Both players were also fined £500.

Earlier today the following players accepted penalties imposed by the Match Review Panel.

Denive Balmforth (Hull FC) – High tackle, Grade A – 0 matches
Elijah Taylor (Salford Red Devils) – Strike with knee, Grade B – 1 match
Bodene Thompson (Leeds Rhinos) – Trip, Grade B – 2 matches
Miteli Vulikjapani (Hull FC) – Dangerous contact, Grade C – 2 matches
Liam Watts (Castleford Tigers) – Dangerous contact, Grade A – 1 match
