RFL orders independent investigation into Leigh and Wigan conduct
The Rugby Football League announced an independent investigation into the conduct of Leigh Leopards and Wigan Warriors over the past 12 months.
Ticket dispute origins
Leigh owner Derek Beaumont threatened a boycott of a play-off fixture due to disagreements over ticket allocation. The match proceeded as scheduled with Wigan winning by 18-6 points. A complaint was submitted to the governing body the week after the game.
Recent statement details
The RFL issued a letter advising both clubs that an investigation covers actions extending over the last year. Neither side will receive further comment until the inquiry is complete. Wigan Warriors are set to host Wakefield in their upcoming semi-final.
