THREE players have been banned following Leigh's bruising promotion win at Carlisle.
Cumbrian skipper Gary Charlton has been handed a four-match suspension for dangerous use of the elbow on Safraz Patel - an incident which sparked a flare-up and ultimately brought Leigh's David Hill a one-match ban for punching.
Leigh scrum-half Chris Wilkinson was found guilty of an off-the-ball challenge on Charlton in a separate incident and was handed a three-game suspension - a decision that has left the Hilton Park club considering lodging an appeal.
Leigh Alliance continued their climb up the table with a 42-28 home victory over Hunslet with tries from Joey Harvey 2, Alan Hadcroft, David Ingram, Steve Gibson, a Welsh trialist winger and Scott Aspinall, who added seven goals.
