Hide AdThe Rhinos - one of Super League's hardest-hit clubs this season - avoided any disciplinary drama last week but find themselves back in hot water.
Castleford prop Liam Watts has been on the match review panel's radar this year, returning from a third ban of the campaign to face Leeds at St James' Park.
But he is set for another spell on the sidelines after being hit with a two-game suspension for a grade B high tackle.
Watts will miss Saturday's clash with Warrington Wolves and a reunion with his old club Hull FC at the MKM Stadium next week.

Hide AdHull defied the absence of 12 players to edge a thrilling derby against Hull KR and they will need to dig deep again at Wigan this Friday after Connor Wynne was handed a one-match suspension for a grade B late hit.
The loss of Wynne has been offset by the return of Mitieli Vulikijapani from his two-game ban.
Rovers have also lost a player to suspension in the aftermath of the Magic Weekend clash after back-rower Dean Hadley received a one-match penalty notice for a late hit, ruling him out of Sunday's game against former club Wakefield Trinity.
Like rivals Hull, the Robins are low on numbers with eight first-team players sitting out the match in Newcastle through injury.

Salford Red Devils forward Sitaleki Akauola has been suspended for two games for a trip in the loss to Huddersfield Giants.
Hull forward Brad Fash, Saints hooker James Roby, Warrington half-back George Williams and Salford playmaker Brodie Croft were all charged but escaped bans.
