Huddersfield's Andy Raleigh will face a second disciplinary in two months after being cited for punching against Leeds on Sunday.

The Giants forward will make another visit to the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee after being sin-binned during Huddersfield's win over the Rhinos.

The former Hull KR player saw yellow after a flare-up with Leeds forward Ali Lauitiiti during the Giants' 26-20 win over the champions.

Raleigh has now been charged with a grade A offence, which carries a one-game ban.

Raleigh was found guilty of illegal use of his forearm during Huddersfield's opening game of the season against Bradford but avoided any suspension due to his previous good behaviour.

Also appearing in front of tomorrow's RFL disciplinary panel will be Salford hooker Jeremy Smith, who has been accused of a late tackle on Danny Orr during the Reds' 26-22 win over Harlequins.

The RFL have issued cautions to Scott Murrell (Hull KR), Jay Pitts (Leeds), Ryan McGoldrick (Castleford) and Paul Sykes (Bradford) for foul play in the weekend's games.
