Anthony Boardman of Bradford Bulls Reserves appeared at an independent Operational Rules Tribunal on 8 April following a Grade E charge of punching in the reserves fixture against Warrington Wolves on Friday 28 March.
Under the new sanctioning process for on-field misconduct, all Grade E charges result in an automatic referral to an Operational Rules Tribunal, with the minimum sanction of 24 penalty points meaning a four-match suspension.
Boardman plead guilty and received a 5 match suspension and a £25 fine - with 34 penalty points imposed, which will remain there for 12 months from the date of the offence.
