Castleford Tigers centre Justin Carney has been handed a two-match ban after pleading guilty to making a dangerous throw on London Broncos centre Thomas Minns.
The incident took place in the 69th minute of the Super League clash between the two sides on Sunday, which the Tigers went on to win 64-18.
Carney, who scored a first-half hat-trick in the rout to take his season tally up to a team-leading 17, will now miss his side's Challenge Cup semi-final against Widnes Vikings this weekend.
The 26-year-old was also handed a two-match ban in May, although Castleford were able to beat Wigan Warriors in the quarter-final of the Challenge Cup during his absence.
Teammate Weller Hauraki will also miss Sunday's semi-final through suspension, having been banned for two games last week.
