Leeds prop forward Ryan Bailey will miss Thursday's Super League derby at Bradford due to a one-match ban.

Huddersfield captain Brown avoids suspension

Leeds prop forward Ryan Bailey will miss Thursday's Super League derby at Bradford due to a one-match ban. Last Friday Bailey was sent off by referee Ben Thaler for throwing punches during a brawl, as the Rhinos lost 38-6 to Huddersfield at Headingley. He was subsequently found guilty of a grade B offence by the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee, suspended for one game and fined £500. Meanwhile, Huddersfield captain Kevin Brown was fined £300 after he was found guilty of fighting, but he avoided a suspension. Stand-off Brown was not punished at the time, but was charged with a grade A offence by the RFL's match review panel after they watched footage of Friday's brawl.
