Leeds Rhinos boss questions sin-binning and stoppages as Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont hits out

Rhinos prop Justin Sangare was sin-binned for the second successive game - following an alleged late challenge on Tom Amone - and Leeds players including Jarrod O’Connor, Andy Ackers and Brodie Croft were penalised in incidents which will be studied by the RFL’s match review panel on Monday.

In each case, referee Chris Kendall consulted his video assistant Ben Thaler before - with the exception of the Sangare incident - deciding not to produce a yellow card. Previously this season there have been complaints about the number of players being sent-off or sin-binned, but Friday’s game produced the opposite reaction, with Leigh fans upset at seeing Leeds keep 13 players on the field for all but the final few minutes.
