Of all the problems which have plagued Leeds Rhinos' season, discipline is perhaps the biggest of all. That issue was again brought into the spotlight after the Magic Weekend, with Matt Prior becoming the latest Leeds player to pick up a costly suspension.
Prior is one of several Leeds players who have already been suspended on multiple occasions this year. The likes of James Bentley, Zane Tetevano and Brad Dwyer have also been banned by the Rugby Football League's disciplinary panel on more than one occasion, and this week, it leaves Rohan Smith with a headache or two.
Smith will be without five first-team squad members due to suspension for the trip to Toulouse this weekend. Newman, Muizz Mustapha, Tom Holroyd, Tetevano and Prior are all banned for the game against Sylvain Houles' side, with Bodene Thompson returning from his own two-match ban suffered against St Helens last month. Leeds are, however, pondering to appeal the extra game ban given to Newman for a frivolous appeal last week.
