Brad Singleton and Ashton Sims have been banned for their part in this punch-up

Warrington prop Ashton Sims will sit out Friday's Super League derby with St Helens at Langtree Park after being given a one-match ban.

Sims, who is an ever-present for the Wolves this season, was found guilty of a grade B offence of punching when he appeared in front of a Rugby Football League disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday.

The Fiji international was sin-binned during his club's 52-18 win over champions Leeds last Friday after coming to blows with Rhinos prop Brad Singleton, who was also handed a one-match ban after submitting an early-guilty plea.

Singleton will miss Friday's home game against Catalans Dragons, but the Rhinos' England centre Kallum Watkins will be able to keep his ever-present record after being told he will face no further action for a careless high tackle on Warrington centre Ryan Atkins.

Watkins used his option of an early-guilty plea to the grade A offence.

Wakefield will be without captain Danny Kirmond for the visit of Hull KR on Thursday after he admitted a tripping offence in his side's 38-8 defeat at Salford and was given a one-match ban.
