Leigh’s Ricky Leutele avoids charge ahead of play-offs with just one Super League player banned

Just one Super League player received a ban from the Match Review Panel following the ultimate round of the regular campaign.

Leigh Leopards star Ricky Leutele is free to play against Salford Red Devils in this week’s play-offs following his sin-bin in the win over St Helens.

The centre was sent for 10 following his high tackle on opposition full-back Jack Welsby, however the MRP’s minutes conclude that the sin-bin was sufficient, with the contact ‘secondary’ and ‘low force’.
