Four players banned after Leigh v Bradford clash

Four players have been banned following the eventful Championship opener between Leigh and Bradford earlier this month.

The game at Leigh Sports Village saw six sin-bins, as the Centurions came from behind to defeat the Bulls 36-24.

Bulls half-back Harry Siejka was the recipient of two yellow cards in the match, and he has received a two match ban for Grade C reckless striking after submitting an early guilty plea.

His team-mate, winger Danny Williams, was suspended for one match after being found guilty of Grade B repeated punching, having seen his original charge downgraded by an independent disciplinary tribunal.

For Leigh, forward Tommy Goulden was banned for two matches for Grade C running in and punching in the same incident.

Adam Higson was also handed a two-match ban, for Grade C punching.
