News summary

Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella has received a two-match suspension after being charged with a Grade C head contact offence following a high tackle on Leigh Leopards' Matt Moylan. The sin-bin incident occurred during a 24-0 win for Hull KR, and although the club plans to contest the ban, Minchella is currently set to miss the team's final regular season match against Leeds Rhinos and potentially the first match of the play-offs. This suspension comes as a significant blow to Hull KR's Grand Final aspirations, as Minchella has been a key player throughout the season. If Hull KR finishes in the top two, he would miss both the semi-final and Grand Final should they advance. The team is looking to lower the ban's severity to allow Minchella to play in the playoffs, a move supported by recent successful appeals from other clubs. Meanwhile, Catalans Dragons' Arthur Romano has been handed a one-match suspension for a separate head contact incident.
