Salford back-rower Cory Paterson and Catalans Dragons hooker Ian Henderson have both been found not guilty of any wrong-doing in their clubs' Super League round 5 matches.

Paterson was charged with a grade B offence of striking with the elbow or forearm on Warrington scrum-half Richie Myler during the Red Devils' 34-18 defeat by the Wolves last Friday but was found not guilty when he appeared at a Rugby Football League disciplinary hearing on Wednesday evening.

The Australian forward, who was one game back from a three-match ban, is free to play in Saturday's Magic Weekend clash with Widnes but his Salford team-mate Adam Walne was suspended for three matches and fined £500 for two separate offences of making dangerous contact on opponents in the same game.

Henderson, meanwhile, was cleared to play in the Catalans' game against Huddersfield in Newcastle on Sunday after being found not guilty of making dangerous contact on Wigan second rower John Bateman during his side's 58-16 win
over the Warriors in Perpignan on Saturday.
