Castleford forward Kevin Larroyer has accepted a two-match ban for his "squirrel-grip" tackle on Catalans Dragons' Vincent Duport.
The former Hull KR and Dragons second rower was charged with a grade C offence of "other contrary behaviour" after grabbing his opponent between the legs to complete a tackle during the Tigers' 32-24 win in Perpignan on Saturday.
Larroyer, who was sin-binned for the offence, managed to avoid a disciplinary hearing after submitting an early-guilty plea and will now miss Castleford's opening two matches of the Super 8s.
Meanwhile, Cas winger Joel Monaghan is free to play in the next phase of the Super League season after he admitted a grade A dangerous tackle in the same game.
Widnes prop Alex Gerrard was handed a two-match ban after pleading guilty to a grade C charge of dangerous contact on Warrington second rower Ben Currie during his side's derby defeat last Thursday.
