Rugby League: Davidson avoids disciplinary action

PAUL DAVIDSON will face no disciplinary measures following the incident during Leeds' bad-tempered game against St Helens on Friday which saw Adrian Morley sent off .

Morley was dismissed after two minutes by the referee, Russell Smith, for punching the Saints forward, and though question marks were raised over Davidson's involvement, the Rugby League will not take action against him. The Great Britain international Morley must attend a disciplinary hearing tomorrow for being given his marching orders.

Hull's Rob Roberts and Andy Fisher, of Wakefield, both of whom were put on report at The Boulevard yesterday, will face no further action, as is the case with Dale Spritz after an alleged high tackle by him when his Castleford team lost to Bradford last night. But the RL executive committee will be writing to the Bulls after Stuart Spruce's alleged trip on Danny Orr in the game.

Their spokesman, John Huxley, explained: "No further action will be taken but the letter will warn about Spruce's involvement in the deliberate infringement. This will go on the player's record."
