THE Operational Rules Tribunal to hear John Asiata’s appeal will not be heard until next Tuesday.
The Leigh Leopards captain, who is currently facing weeks on the sideline due to a torn calf, was slapped with a Grade A Dangerous Contact charge in the aftermath of his side’s 12-4 loss to St Helens almost a fortnight ago.
The Leopards have chosen to appeal that charge despite Asiata not being banned or fined.
