Featherstone Rovers player Ben Blackmore banned for 10 weeks
The ex-Huddersfield Giants player was referred to the RFL’s Compliance Department for a social media post in March - over a Sheffield Eagles squad picture and allegedly aimed at winger Rob Worrincy.
He was charged with three breaches of the operational rules last month and, earlier this week, an operational rules tribunal convened.

Hide AdIt found the 28-year-old guilty of bringing the game into disrepute, failing to observe codes of conduct and unacceptable language or behaviour.
His suspension was effective from May 24. Blackmore has the right to appeal the decision and is taking advice from his representatives at the RLPA / GMB Union.
