Bradford Bulls centre Paul Sykes is free to face Huddersfield Giants on Sunday after winning his appeal against a one-game ban.

Sykes had been suspended and fined £300 after being found guilty of a dangerous throw on Warrington's Chris Hicks in Sunday's Challenge Cup quarter-final.

Wigan's Andy Coley has failed in a similar appeal and is still suspended for Sunday's game with Castleford.

Coley was banned for a dangerous throw on Leeds' Brett Delaney on Saturday.

At the same Rugby Football League Disciplinary Committee that suspended Sykes and Coley on Wednesday, Warrington's Ben Westwood was also banned for one game for using his forearm in a tackle in the Bradford game.

Leeds centre Keith Senior was fined £300 after being found guilty of kicking out at Joel Tomkins in the 43rd minute of their tie with Wigan.
