Diskin free to face Catalans Dragons at Headingley on Friday

Matt Diskin has been cleared of making a dangerous tackle during Leeds' 26-18 defeat to St Helens on Friday. The Rhinos hooker was found not guilty by the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee of carrying out a 'chicken-wing' tackle on Saints winger Gary Wheeler. The finding comes as a boost for Leeds as they look to bounce back from their first Super League defeat of the season against Catalans Dragons on Friday. There will be a minute's silence held before the game in memory of Wakefield player Leon Walker, who died during a reserve team game against Celtic Crusaders at the weekend.
