Leeds Rhinos’ Lachie Miller has been unsuccessful in challenging a Grade E charge.
The player appealed a three-match suspension and 18 Penalty Points after being charged with ‘unnecessary contact with a player who is injured or may be injured.’
Miller had pleaded not guilty but an independent tribunal this evening agreed with the initial charge.
He has been given an additional five penalty points, the ban remains and Miller is also fined £1,000 with Leeds losing their appeal bond.
