McGoldrick banned after ref clash

Hull utility player Ryan McGoldrick has been banned for one match following a clash with referee Tim Roby in Friday’s defeat against Leeds.

McGoldrick, 31, was making his debut for the Airlie Birds after signing from Castleford at the end of a whirlwind week which only saw his registration confirmed with Hull hours before kick-off.

They went on to lose the match 21-6 against the Rhinos at Headingley, with McGoldrick since being found “guilty of making deliberate physical contact” early in the second half.

It rules him out of this weekend’s trip to Catalan, the re-arranged fixture from the postponement earlier in the season.
