Former NRL playmaker Jackson Hastings is among three Super League players to have been sanctioned by the Rugby Football League for breaching COVID-19 protocols.

Huddersfield’s James Gavet and Warrington’s Riley Dean have also been fined and banned from all rugby league-related activity, including training and games, for 14 days.

Hastings, however, will not miss any games as his ban has been backdated to his breach on August 7 and the period of suspension has already elapsed.

A former Sydney Roosters and Manly player, Hastings turned out twice for Wigan during his suspension period of August 8-21 – in Super League games against Wakefield and Leeds – but his transgression had not come to light then, nor had the RFL made clear the punishments for breaches.

The governing body has stepped up monitoring since with 12 members of staff, including nine players, at Hull tested positive for coronavirus a fortnight ago.

Gavet is suspended from August 14-27 for a breach on August 13 and Dean from August 17-30 for a breach on August 16.

A statement from the RFL said the 14-day ban “is consistent with the self-isolation period required following close contact with a person who had tested positive for COVID-19”.
