Hull KR were one of five clubs denied Elite Academy status when the RFL reviewed its system last week. But, Rovers have now launched an appeal.
A statement on the Hull KR website reads: “The club have lodged proceedings with Sports Resolution and expect an outcome by the middle of June.
“Whilst this process is ongoing it will make no further comment on the substantive issues in this appeal.
“The club would like to thank the community game in Hull for its overwhelming support.
Aside from the appeal, our focus at the present time is on supporting our young people.”
The RFL has received a backlash from the sport’s fraternity since the decision.
