Leeds Rhinos' woeful disciplinary record worsens with two more players banned

Leeds Rhinos forwards Matt Prior and Morgan Gannon have both been handed two-match suspensions by the Match Review Panel following incidents in Friday’s win over Hull KR at Headingley.

Rugged Aussie prop Prior received a Grade B charge for tripping in the first half and was given a two-game ban.

Back-rower Gannon received a Grade C charge for touching an injured player following the tackle that saw both Kruise Leeming and Lachlan Coote leave the game through injury.

The teenager tried to pick up Coote but his previous unblemished record meant he received a two-game ban.

Prior and Gannon will now miss Rohan Smith’s first game in charge – the trip to Salford Red Devils on Sunday, May 15 – and the home clash against Wakefield Trinity five days later.
