James Bentley was sent-off 16 minutes into his Leeds Rhinos debut as the forward endured a nightmare start to his Headingley career.
Bentley, a boyhood Rhinos fan who grew up on the terraces at Headingley, was given his marching orders for a swinging arm that connected with the head of Gareth Widdop.
The forward, who arrived from St Helens in the off-season, appeared shocked when referee Chris Kendall pulled out the red card.
