Bradford Bulls hooker George Flanagan has been given a 10-match ban after being found guilty of “attacking an opponent’s testicles.”
Flanagan was taking part in Bradford’s 41-16 defeat to Featherstone Rovers in the Challenge Cup on Sunday, 21 March when the incident occurred.
Flanagan, 34, denied the charge but was also fined £250 following a disciplinary hearing in Leeds which lasted for more than three hours.
The hooker, who joined the Bulls back in 2018, has previously been given an eight-match ban for a similar offence in August 2019.
