The RFL have been consistent in recent years that players cannot make contact with players who may be injured for fear of causing further injury, and that\u2019s why Smith has been so heavily punished.<\/p>\n<p>As for Walters, he\u2019s been handed a three-match ban for a headbutt on Jay Pitts meaning he will also miss games against Castleford, Warrington and Bradford.<\/p>\n<p>Four other charges were handed down, all Grade A, with Tevaga also receiving one of those for late contact on the passer.
