Three Leeds Rhinos players charged by Match Review Panel after Salford defeat

Leeds Rhinos trio Sam Lisone, Richie Myler and Harry Newman have all been charged by the Match Review Panel after their 6-22 defeat to Salford Red Devils on Friday evening. Mikolaj Oledzki, Blake Austin and James McDonnell were all cited but never received a charge.

However, the good news for coach Rohan Smith is all three have escaped a ban, with Newman and Myler copping a £250 fine, and Lisone's was cited three times, but his dangerous contact was not applicable.

The prop forward has been charge because he made contact with an opponent after the ball had been released, and the Red Devils player was in a vulnerable position, causing flexion to the head.

For Newman, his charge happened late in the second half and again was because of dangerous contact that put the opponent in a position which caused flexion to the head, neck or spinal column.

Myler's sin-binning for going in with his knees has resulted in his fine, and his charge is a Grade B for Other Contrary Behaviour. All three are available to play in Friday's game with Wigan Warriors at the DW Stadium in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
