Hull KR half-back Mikey Lewis has avoided a suspension that would have ruled him out of Thursday’s World Club Challenge against Brisbane Broncos.<\/p>\n

The England international was sin-binned in Thursday’s shock defeat at Super League newcomers York Knights<\/a> for a trip on Liam Harris.<\/p>\n

He has been given five penalty points by the Rugby Football League’s match review panel, one short of the six that would have seen him handed a one-game ban.<\/p>\n

The Robins, who won the domestic treble last season, face the Australian champions at Hull FC’s MKM Stadium on Thursday.<\/p>\n

On Lewis’ yellow card, which came when his side were 18-6 up before losing 19-18, Hull KR head coach Willie Peters told BBC Radio Humberside: “It was there to see what Mikey did. He needs to learn from what he did because it was a key moment in the game.<\/p>\n

“He knows and he’s owned it, but I want to see some action off the back of it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull KR half-back Mikey Lewis has avoided a suspension that would have ruled him out of Thursday’s World…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-429537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
