A key Leeds Rhinos player has been suspended for Monday’s crucial game at Catalans Dragons.

The RFL’s match review panel handed Aidan Sezer a one-game suspension following his sin-binning during Wednesday’s 18-14 win over Huddersfield Giants.

But no further action was taken against Leeds’ Blake Austin, who was sin-binned for an alleged shoulder charge, or Giants’ Chris Hill and Joe Greenwood following their yellow cards.

The panel stated Sezer had “tried to tackle but [was] reckless about outcome”.

The scrum-half scored Leeds’ golden point try when they hit back from 30-6 down to win in Perpignan a month ago.

He previously served a one-match suspension following a trip in Rhinos’ win over Salford Red Devils this month.
