James Gordon

Leeds starlet Muizz Mustapha has joined Newcastle on a one-month loan, but is set to face a RFL disciplinary tribunal.

Mustapha has been handed a Grade D dangerous throw charge, which carries a suspension tariff of 3-5 matches.

The Nigerian made his Rhinos debut in the Challenge Cup win over Workington earlier this season, and has recently signed a three-year contract.

He starred in the England Academy series win over Australia Schoolboys before Christmas.
