Leeds Rhinos centre Harry Newman is hoping to successfully appeal against his two-match ban and feature in the Super League Magic Weekend clash against Castleford Tigers. Newman has been charged for Grade C aggressive behaviour towards a match official following last Thursday’s 42-12 defeat at defending champions St Helens.
Rhinos team-mate 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. Like Newman, Bodene Thompson has received a two-match ban after being charged for a trip which saw him sin-binned during the latter stages of the Saints defeat.
As things stand, the trio, unless any of them successfully appeal on Tuesday, will now all miss the upcoming games at Hull FC on Saturday and against Castleford at St James’ Park in Newcastle seven days later. Highly-rated Newman said today: “I’m just a very passionate player and sometimes things boil over.
