Castleford Tigers winger Bureta Faraimo has been banned for two weeks following a high tackle on Hull KR's Will Dagger in Thursday's Super League defeat.

The disciplinary panel charged the USA international with a Grade B offence, but with a 'reckless' caveat taken into consideration as per guidelines.

Team-mate Liam Watts has received a one-game ban for a Grade A 'careless' tackle offence from the same game.

Watts, 31, was sin-binned for his challenge on Rovers half Mikey Lewis.

Catalans Dragons hooker Michael McIlorum was also handed a one-match suspension for his attempt to halt Leeds Rhinos' Blake Austin.

Two players were penalised for late hits on a passing player, with St Helens back-rower Curtis Sironen given a Grade B charge and one-game ban.

Salford's Dan Sarginson received a Grade A citing carrying the same punishment.

Sarginson's Red Devils team-mate Ryan Brierley was charged with Grade B dangerous contact with a one-match suspension, but he successfully appealed against the grading and will now not serve a ban.

Players and clubs can still contest the charges and take the case to an independent regulatory tribunal.
