Brough gets Giants ban

RUGBY LEAGUE

STRUGGLING Huddersfield Giants will be without skipper Danny Brough for three matches following his foul-mouthed rant at a touch judge.

Scotland star Brough, 35, (above) was sent off in the 76th minute of Sunday’s home defeat to Salford and pleaded guilty at last night’s RFL disciplinary hearing.

He will miss matches against St Helens, Warrington and Widnes.

Saints centre Mark Percival will also miss Friday’s match with the Giants after he accepted a charge of disputing a decision during the defeat at Wakefield.
