Leeds Rhinos back row James Bentley has been banned for three games after a high tackle in the win over Wakefield.
He was sent to the sin-bin in Friday's game for the shot on Trinity centre Thomas Minns, and receives his third ban of the season, subject to appeal.
Bentley, 24, missed four games following a tackle on Gareth Widdop in the season opener against Warrington.
He then received another two for a challenge on Castleford's Joe Westerman in April.
Also pulled up in review are Wakefield's Jay Pitts from the same game, for Grade A dangerous contact following a late tackle on a passing Rhinos player, which results in a one-game ban.
Catalans prop Julien Bousquet's Grade B charge of dangerous contact against Hull KR - again for a late hit on a passing player - also results in a one-match suspension.
