LEEDS RHINOS will be appealing the three-match ban handed to star fullback Lachie Miller in the aftermath of his side’s 24-4 loss to Wigan Warriors at the weekend.
Miller was charged with Grade E Unnecessary Contact with a player that may be injured, subsequently receiving 18 penalty points, a fine and a three-match ban.
And now Leeds head coach Brad Arthur has revealed the Rhinos will appeal and why.
“We are going to appeal it. Lachie is a person of great character and we want to make sure we are representing his character,” Arthur said.
“He is a really good person so we want to appeal. I can’t say too much, we just need to let it run its course.
“He would get more points, but he doesn’t lose a game. We want to support him as a club and we think he has a really good case.”
