Salford half-back Kevin Brown has been given a two-match ban for the headbutt that earned him a spell in the sin-bin during last Friday's 12-10 defeat by his old club Huddersfield.

Brown was shown a yellow card for making contact with the head of Giants centre Jordan Turner and the Rugby Football League's match review panel imposed a two-match penalty notice after deeming it a grade C offence.

Huddersfield full-back Darnell McIntosh was charged with a grade A late tackle on Brown earlier in the game and avoided a suspension.
