Holroyd receives two game ban

Leeds Rhinos prop Tom Holroyd has received a two game suspension from the independent Operational Rules Tribunal.

Holroyd had originally been given a Grade E dangerous contact charge by the match review panel following Sunday’s game against Castleford Tigers.

However, the charge was reduced to Grade D in the hearing, which Holroyd pleaded guilty to and received carrying 12 points under the new on-field sentencing guidelines that have been introduced for 2025 (On-Field Sentencing Guidelines for 2025), meaning a two match suspension and no fine. He was joined at the hearing by Leeds Rhinos Sporting Director Ian Blease and General Manager Matt Cook. 

Holroyd will miss this Saturday's trip to Catalans Dragons and next Friday's Betfred Challenge Cup Fourth Round game at St Helens. He will be available for selection again for the Rhinos Betfred Super League Round Five game against Wigan Warriors at AMT Headingley on Saturday 22nd March.
