Shaun Kenny-Dowall: Hull KR captain handed four-game ban for unnecessary contact
- Published
Hull KR's Shaun Kenny-Dowall was charged with the alleged Grade E offence after Friday's loss to Leigh
Hull KR captain Shaun Kenny-Dowall has been given a four-game ban for making unnecessary contact with an injured opponent during Friday's loss at Leigh.
The 35-year-old pleaded guilty to the Grade E charge at a tribunal on Tuesday and was also fined £750.
The Rugby Football League said his "exceptional disciplinary record" meant he was given a sanction at the lower end of the penalty band.
Leigh half-back Ben Reynolds was also banned for Grade D dangerous contact.
He was given a two-game suspension, and was also fined £250.
From the same game, Rovers prop Jesse Sue was fined £250 for a Grade B dangerous contact charge, while Leigh hooker Edwin Ipape was docked £250 for Grade A dangerous contact.
Saints lose three after Leeds defeat
Konrad Hurrell was sent-off for a shoulder to the head of Richie Myler late in Friday's game
St Helens have lost centre Konrad Hurrell for two games for a Grade C 'strikes' charge after he was dismissed for a shot on Leeds full-back Richie Myler.
Teammate Sione Mata'utia was sin-binned for a late challenge on Aidan Sezer which has also produced a two-match suspension, while fellow back-rower Curtis Sironen is to miss one match for Grade B dangerous contact.
One of round three's big talking points was the decision not to penalise Leeds Rhinos forward Sam Walters for a shoulder charge on Saints prop Matty Lees, by referee Chris Kendall.
Walters has been fined £250 for a Grade B shoulder charge on review by the panel.

Wakefield utility Jordan Crowther has been fined £250 for Grade B dangerous contact following their 8-0 loss to Huddersfield. Teammate Sam Eseh was cautioned for dangerous contact but has not been cited.

Salford prop Tyler Dupree has avoided a penalty but will have his Grade A high tackle charge on his disciplinary record following last weekend's defeat by Warrington.
All decisions are subject to appeal, which if deemed frivolous could result in further games added to a suspension.
