League Weekly reports this morning that Shaun Leaf has been formerly charged over allegations of illegal betting. The RFL are said to be currently in the process of arranging the date for Shaun to appear before a judge-led tribunal at RFL headquarters.
The report adds that a number of charges have been brought of breaching the game's operational rules and betting code of conduct plus misuse of privileged information.
Shaun (it states) has co-operated fully with the inquiry which is expected to go in his favour in terms of any sentancing.
Leaf's former teammate David Bates, reported to have been present when the Sun recorded their 'secret' footage, has so far resisted all attempts by the RFL to assist with the enquiry.
Both players are currently suspended from playing by the RFL.
