WIGAN WARRIORS have decided to launch an appeal against the one-match penalty notice handed to Adam Keighran in the aftermath of his side’s 16-12 win over St Helens.
Wigan overcame local rivals Saints in a full-blooded derby on Friday night, with only Keighran facing a ban following the fixture.
Now the Warriors have decided to appeal the Grade B Dangerous Throw/Lift that received the higher end of the sanction.

Andre Savelio (Huddersfield Giants) – Grade D Head Contact – 2 Match Penalty Notice and a £250 Fine
Sam Hewitt (Huddersfield Giants) – Grade D Punching – 2 Match Penalty Notice and a £250 Fine
Edwin Ipape (Leigh Leopards) – Grade B Dangerous Contact – 1 Match Penalty Notice (Higher End)
Chris Hankinson (Salford Red Devils) – Grade B Head Contact – £250 Fine
