Keith Senior and Jamie Jones-Buchanan will miss Leeds Rhinos' trip to Salford after being found guilty of foul play.

They were banned for one match and each fined £300 by the Rugby Football League following incidents during Friday's 18-10 win over St Helens.

Centre Senior was accused of punching Jon Wilkin, while Jones-Buchanan was cited for a "chicken-wing" tackle on St Helens prop James Graham.

Leeds prop Kylie Leuluai was fined £300 for a high tackle in the same game.

However, Senior and Jones-Buchanan will be eligible to play for the Rhinos in the Super League play-offs.

Leeds face Salford in their final regular season match on Friday needing a point to secure top spot before the play-offs, which begin the following weekend.

They have received an injury boost with the news that captain Kevin Sinfield did not suffer a fractured cheekbone against St Helens, as had been feared.

A specialist confirmed that although there was soft tissue damage around the eye and cheek area, there was no bone injury. Sinfield could be available for the trip to Salford if the swelling goes down.
