No further action will be taken in regard to the allegation of unacceptable language made by a Wakefield Trinity player against a Leigh Leopards player in the Betfred Super League eliminator on September 26.
The on-field complaint was included in the referee’s post-match report, and therefore considered by the RFL Match Review Panel meeting the following Monday (September 29). They were unable to take the matter further because of the lack of supporting evidence, therefore referred it to RFL Compliance for further investigation, given the serious nature of the allegation.
However, there has been no response to the RFL request for further information necessary to take the matter further - the deadline for which passed on Wednesday (October 1).
