Leigh Leopards to appeal Tom Amone ban

Leigh Leopards are set to appeal Tom Amone’s ban from the game against Wigan Warriors ahead of their game against Hull KR.

This comes after he was placed on report for a crusher tackle on Toby King last Friday.

It was certainly accidental which is why Leigh will feel that they have a strong case for an appeal.

The appeal will be held this evening.

Wigan will have been nervous over a number of their stars after potential high tackles from a number of their star men.

The same could be said of Warrington Wolves whilst Max Jowitt could have faced a similar offence.

Leigh may have had a few worries with Edwin Ipape after a tackle similar to the infamous John Asiata tackles whilst Tom Amone was placed on report for a crusher tackle.

There could have been bans for yellow card offences from Sam Tomkins, Amir Bourouh, Sam Lisone and Liam Watts.

Now the disciplinary verdicts have been confirmed.
