McGuire handed one-match ban

Leeds Rhinos will be without half-back Danny McGuire for Monday’s Stobart Super League derby with Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

Leeds Rhinos will be without half-back Danny McGuire for Monday’s Stobart Super League derby with Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

The 29-year-old was handed a one-match ban after making dangerous contact with Bradford Bulls full-back Brett Kearney during his side’s 34-16 derby win last Friday.

McGuire, who had the option of taking an early-guilty plea, opted to defend himself against the grade B charge but the Rugby Football League’s disciplinary committee found him guilty.

He was also fined £300 but avoided a two-match ban when the committee took into consideration his previous good record.
