STAPLETON BANNED
Salford's Craig Stapleton has been suspended for one match after being sent off for foul and abusive language following his side's defeat by Catalans Dragons last Friday.
Prop Stapleton, who has also been fined £300, was dismissed by referee Phil Bentham for comments made soon after the final hooter of the engage Super League clash at The Willows.
Salford were beaten 18-16 after a last-minute try from Casey McGuire.
Stapleton, 30, who is leaving the club at the end of the season,
will miss the Reds' trip to Harlequins on Saturday.
Coach Shaun McRae said: "We don't condone it any way. You can think what you want, but don't say it."
