James Harrison will now miss Warrington Wolves' meeting with Leeds Rhinos as well as the visit of St Helens

Warrington Wolves forward James Harrison has been given a two-match ban and a £250 fine for dangerous contact in their defeat by Castleford Tigers.

His ban comes after a tackle on the Tigers' Nathan Massey, who was forced off the field through injury.

"It was a very ugly collision. I've looked at it and it's a nasty one," Tigers boss Andy Last said post-match.

"I know James and he's not malicious. It looks like ligament damage. I don't think we'll see him for a few weeks."
