RFL Statement


 
 

Catalans Dragons v Leeds Rhinos, March 14

The RFL Board and Compliance Manager have respectively considered matters arising from Leeds Rhinos failure to fulfil the above Match.

In accordance with the Operational Rules, and having considered all the circumstances which it was noted were truly exceptional, the RFL Board has determined that the match should be replayed and the Compliance Manager has determined that no other disciplinary action should be taken.

Leeds have been reminded, and have accepted, that the Operational Rules are in place to ensure the smooth operation and integrity of the professional Rugby League competitions - and that in more usual circumstances the failure to fulfil a fixture would have led to significant sanctions.
