WARRINGTON WOLVES will appeal the four-match ban handed to Paul Vaughan at an Operational Rules Tribunal tonight.

“Vaughan, who was charged with a Grade E offence, pleaded not guilty.
“The Club is extremely disappointed with tonight’s verdict and are exploring options with regards to an appeal.”
Now, the Cheshire club and Vaughan will be appealing tonight.
