Loanee Shorrocks hit with two-game suspension as Bentley faces no action
Yorkshire Evening Post
|September 02, 2025
A Leeds Rhinos player has been banned following last Saturday's 34-0 win at Hull FC.
Two Rhinos men were charged yesterday after the RFL match review panel studied all six games from Betfred Super League round 24. Joe Shorrocks, who made his Leeds debut off the substitutes' bench, picked up a two-match suspension, but fellow substitute forward James Bentley faces no further action.
In total, 12 players were charged, with four being suspended. Shorrocks, who is on loan from Salford Red Devils. was placed on report by referee Aaron Moore for an alleged dangerous tackle on Hull FC prop Liam Watts in the first half at MKM Stadium.
After the game, Rhinos coach Brad Arthur was confident no action would follow, stating the tackle was "above the knee". Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Shorrocks also felt there had been no foul play, but the review panel disagreed.
The length of the ban is a legacy of two previous offences earlier in the campaign, one of those committed while playing for Salford against Leeds.
