Three Leeds Rhinos players have been charged by the RFL’s match review panel following last Friday’s loss to Salford Red Devils.

Full-back Richie Myler, centre Harry Newman and prop Sam Lisone all escaped a ban and will be available for Friday’s trip to Wigan Warriors.

Myler was fined £250 after being accused by the panel of grade B ‘other contrary behaviour’ (use of knees).

Newman was charged with grade B dangerous contact - for tackling an opponent after the ball had been released - and also fined £250.

Previously a grade B charge would have led to a one- or two-match penalty notice, but from this season only offences of grade C or above lead to a ban.
