York Captain Sinead Peach Sent Off Over Referee Remark, Faces RFL Panel Review

The RFL's match review panel will examine the red card on Thursday.

Overview

  • Referee Oliver Salmon dismissed Peach in the 79th minute of York's 18-8 loss at St Helens after his mic captured him saying he would not tolerate the alleged remark.
  • The official was heard telling Peach, "I'm not having you saying, 'Which one are you shagging?' You're off," though her own words were not audible on the broadcast.
  • York chairman Clint Goodchild said Peach showed genuine remorse and confirmed the club will support her as the play-offs approach.
  • The RFL confirmed the dismissal will be reviewed by its match review panel on Thursday, with potential charges expected to center on questioning an official's integrity.
  • Sanction length remains uncertain due to limited precedent, and it is unclear whether Peach accepts she made the comment.
