Leeds Rhinos have been handed a boost ahead of Friday’s home game against Warrington Wolves.
A disciplinary tribunal this evening cleared captain Cameron Smith to play in the game after a one-match penalty notice was overturned. The loose-forward had been charged by the RFL’s match review panel with grade B dangerous contact in last week’s win at Castleford Tigers. But the tribunal reduced the grading to A and the one-game suspension was replaced with a £250 fine.
” Of the incident – a challenge on Tigers’ Danny Richardson which was not penalised by referee Aaron Moore – Smith said: “During the game I didn’t really notice it. Even in review it didn’t draw my attention too much.” Rhinos accepted the one-game ban handed to Justin Sangare for grade C head contact in last week’s game. That incident involved a clash of heads and Rohan Smith said: “It was accidental contact, but it follows the framework that was released in the pre-season.
