One-game ban for Witt

Crusaders half-back Michael Witt has been banned for one match and fined £300 after being found guilty of striking.

The Australian was cited by the Rugby Football League’s match review panel for striking Castleford full-back Richard Mathers during his side’s 56-16 defeat on Sunday.

Witt will miss Friday’s visit to Salford, against whom he scored a hat-trick of tries in the opening match of the season at the Millennium Stadium.
