Ferres, who has captained Leeds in their past two games, was handed a one-match penalty notice by the Rugby Football League’s match review panel after being charged with grade A dangerous contact on Salford Red Devils’ Tyrone McCarthy.

The Rhinos forward was sin-binned following the incident in the 54th minute of Leeds’ crucial 17-16 win in the Betfred Qualifiers last Friday.

He will miss Sunday’s game at Halifax.

Miller was sent-off, along with opponent Mike Simon , three minutes from the end of Trinity’s 34-22 home win over Catalans Dragons in the Super-8s.

He was charged with grade A punching, but has avoided a ban.

Simon, a former Wakefield player, was handed a grade B punching charge and a one-match penalty notice which will keep him out of Saturday’s game at Hull.
