Five players have been banned for their part in the stormy clash and will miss
Sunday's engage Super League home game with Castleford.

Prop forward Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook, who was sent off following a brawl
during Quins' last-gasp 32-26 defeat last Saturday, has been hit with a three-match ban.

Banned: Quins duo Tony Clubb and Mike Worrincy

McCarthy-Scarsbrook, who only recently returned from a three-month lay-off with a broken wrist, was found guilty of punching when he appeared in front of the Rugby Football League's disciplinary panel and fined £300 in addition to the ban.

Three of his London team-mates, full-back Rikki Sheriffe, centre David Howell and back row forward Michael Worrincy, were all given one-match bans and £300 fines after being found guilty of punching during the fracas, which flared up in the losing moments of the game at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium.

Quins centre or second-rower Tony Clubb, who was cited by the RFL's match review panel for a careless high tackle from an incident in the first half, was also handed a one-match ban and £300 fine.

Dragons stand-off Adam Mogg, who was also sent off, was handed a one-match ban
and £300 fine after being found guilty of punching.

It means the Australian stand-off will miss the third-placed Catalans'
eagerly-awaited clash with champions Leeds at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium on
Saturday.

However, Dragons hooker Casey McGuire is free to face the Rhinos after he was
fined £300 but avoided a suspension for his part in the brawl.
