James Bentley was delighted to bag his first tries and first win as a Leeds Rhinos player – but admits he now fears copping his third ban of the season. The rugged second-rower scored twice during the first half of Friday’s 24-6 home victory over Wakefield Trinity.
Shortly after his second score, Bentley was sinbinned for a high tackle on Thomas Minns and faces a nervous wait to discover if he will be hit with another disciplinary charge and possible suspension.
The close-season signing from St Helens was sent off on his debut against Warrington Wolves at Headingley – earning him a four-match ban – and also received a yellow card during the Easter Monday defeat at Castleford Tigers which saw him suspended for two games.
