Harry Newman's appeal will now be heard on Wednesday, the Rugby Football League has confirmed. The Leeds Rhinos centre is challenging the charge for Grade C using 'threatening language or body language' towards a match official.
Newman had initially been banned for two games though that was subsequently increased to three games for what was deemed to be a frivolous appeal. Leeds have decided to use new evidence to appeal the ban once again but will now have to wait until Wednesday to make their case despite initial plans for it to take place today. The timing of tomorrow's hearing is to be confirmed.
It's thought that a high number of appeals from the latest round of Super League action have played a part in the adjournment. Rhinos prop Matt Prior is one of three players appealing bans dished out from Magic Weekend, with St Helens' Sione Mata'utia and Hull KR's Dean Hadley also deciding to challenge.
