Greg Bird will miss the remainder of Catalans Dragons' Super League relegation fight after he was given a season-ending ban.
Bird has been suspended for four matches a dangerous throw on winger Ben Heaton during his side's 24-0 win over Halifax in the Super 8s Qualifiers on Sunday.
The former Australian Test player pleaded guilty to the offence at a Rugby Football League independent operational rules tribunal but challenged the severity of the charge, which remained at grade D.
Bird will miss the Dragons' three remaining Super 8s fixtures, plus the Million-Pound Game if his club are involved.
Hull will be without skipper Gareth Ellis for their game against Wigan on Friday after he was given a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Leeds' loose forward Stevie Ward.
The veteran back-row forward, who was sin-binned for the offence, submitted an early-guilty plea to the grade B offence and will sit out Friday's Super 8s clash at the KCOM Stadium.
Third-placed Hull, who need to beat the fifth-placed Warriors to keep alive their bid for a play-off semi-final, will also be without winger Steve Michaels after he was given a one-match ban for striking.
Leeds will be without scrum-half Rob Burrow for Friday's game at Castleford after submitting an early-guilty plea to a grade B charge of head-butting Hull substitute Jake Connor.
Leigh stand-off Ben Reynolds was given a one-match ban for a tripping offence while Halifax half-back Ben Johnson and Widnes youngster Danny Walker avoided further punishment for similar, but less severe offences.
