Hauraki hit with two-game ban

Weller Hauraki of Castleford Tigers has been banned for two games by the RFL, and fined £300.

He pleaded guilty to a charge of the Grade C offence of recklessly striking with his knees, following an incident in the game against Hull FC last week.

The only other player to face disciplinary charges this week was Zach Johnson of Swinton Lions.

He has been suspended for three games after pleading guilty to the Grade C offence of sustained punching, after an incident in his team’s game with Doncaster at the weekend.

He has also been fined £50.
