Warrington Wolves prop Paul Vaughan will miss their final three matches of the regular season following his red card in Friday’s defeat by Leigh Leopards.
The Australia international is among five players to be suspended by the Rugby Football League after he received a Grade D Penalty Notice for head contact on Owen Trout in the first half.
Vaughan will now miss matches against St Helens, Huddersfield Giants and London Broncos at a crucial time of the season as the Wolves look to secure a play-off spot.
The RFL also confirmed Huddersfield Giants prop Fenton Rogers has received two separate suspensions and will miss four games.
Rogers was banned for three matches for a head contact charge in the first half of his side’s 18-10 defeat by St Helens and one further game for Grade B dangerous contact charge.
He has also been fined £250.
