Huddersfield Giants' teenage half-back Will Pryce has been banned for 10 matches for a dangerous throw.
The 19-year-old was sent off after a tackle on Hull FC's Connor Wynne in Sunday's 14-6 Super League defeat.
Pryce, who was also fined 拢500 by the independent tribunal, faced a minimum eight-game ban for the Grade F offence - the highest tariff available.
He will not be able to play again until mid-June, ruling him out of around a third of Huddersfield's season.
Pryce had previously been found guilty of a similar offence in an academy game against Bradford Bulls in May 2021.
All cases graded D or above must go before a tribunal hearing, where behaviour, disciplinary record and character are among the factors taken into account, as is the incident itself and any further issues such as injury.
Elsewhere, Catalans Dragons half-back Mitchell Pearce has been given a two-game ban after a Grade C dangerous throw in Friday's win over Hull KR.
Castleford's Brad Martin, who was sent off against Wigan for a high tackle on Willie Isa on Thursday, has also been banned for two matches for that incident after a Grade C citing.
Zane Tetevano will miss two games for Leeds after he was deemed to have committed a high tackle on Ken Sio in their loss at Salford on Friday.
