St Helens' stand-off Leon Pryce has been cleared by the Rugby Football League's match review panel despite being caught grabbing the testicles of Bradford's Andy Lynch.

The former Bradford favourite was spotted committing the offence during Saints' 22-16 win at Odsal on Friday.

But the panel decided not to charge the Great Britain international after deciding that "contact was absolutely minimal".

Pryce was handed a three-match ban for "ungentlemanly conduct" after being spotted committing a similar offence on Sam Burgess in last year's Challenge Cup semi-final.
