MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Teenage Huddersfield stand-off Will Pryce could be banned for eight matches or more following his dismissal in the Giants’ 14-6 Super League defeat at Hull on Sunday.

Pryce, the 19-year-old son of former GB international Leon Pryce, was shown a red card 16 minutes from the end of the match for a dangerous tackle on Hull winger Connor Wynne.
