Rhinos' Singleton and Wildcats' Kirmond receive bans
Singleton, who appeared in front of a Rugby Football League disciplinary tribunal last night, will miss Friday’s home game against Catalans Dragons.
But Rhinos’ England centre Kallum Watkins will be able to keep his ever-present record after being told he will face no further action for a careless high tackle on Warrington centre Ryan Atkins.

Sims will sit out Friday’s Super League derby with St Helens at Langtree Park after being given a one-match ban.
An ever-present for the Wolves this season, Sims was found guilty of a grade B offence of punching. The Fiji international was sin-binned during his club’s 52-18 win over the champions last Friday after his skirmish with Singleton.
Wakefield will be without captain Danny Kirmond for the visit of Hull KR tomorrow after he admitted a tripping offence in his side’s 38-8 defeat at Salford and was given a one-match ban.
