The disciplinary verdict after the latest round of Super League reserve matches is in and Leeds Rhinos have seen two players banned, including the son of a club legend.<\/p>\n

Rhinos\u2019 forwards Joe Butterfield and Dacx Jones-Buchanan were both handed bans for their actions in the loss to Wigan Warriors, a game that served as a curtain-raiser ahead of Leeds\u2019 Super League win over Hull KR<\/a> last Friday night.<\/p>\n

Jones-Buchanan, the son of fan favourite and current club CEO Jamie, was handed a Grade E charge worth 18 penalty points for a headbutt. That will see him banned for three matches.<\/p>\n

As for Butterfield, who was sent off in the defeat to Wigan, he\u2019s copped a Grade D charge for striking, meaning he is banned for just one match.<\/p>\n

One other player was charged from last week\u2019s Super League reserves games with Max Le-Nissen of London Broncos picking up a Grade B charge, however, a total of five players were charged after the latest round of Championship action.<\/p>\n

Among them was Jacob Fairbank of Halifax Panthers, who landed a one-match ban for dangerous contact, whilst Newcastle Thunders\u2019 Brendan Santi was handed a two-match ban for a dangerous throw.<\/p>\n

The latest round of disciplinary charges were confirmed by the RFL and shared on the governing body\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
