Huddersfield have lodged an appeal against a two-match suspension handed out to Jamal Lolesi.
Punishment to be contested
Huddersfield have lodged an appeal against a two-match suspension handed out to Jamal Lolesi, the ban threatening his ever-present record this season.
The former New Zealand international was handed the suspension, along with a £300 fine, for using foul and abusive language during the Giants' 36-34 defeat by Warrington in the opening match of the Millennium Magic event in Cardiff at the weekend.
Lolesi admitted the offence when he appeared in front of the Rugby League's disciplinary panel in Leeds on Wednesday but Huddersfield have said they are now contesting the punishment.
The centre, who joined Huddersfield from Wests Tigers 18 months ago, has appeared in all of their 14 matches so far this season.
However, he will sit out Sunday's Carnegie Challenge Cup fifth-round tie at Hull KR and the following week's engage Super League game against the same opponents unless the ban is overturned.
