Woods delays decision on leave to
appeal

National Rugby League judiciary chairman Greg Woods will let the Newcastle Knights know this morning whether it has been granted leave to appeal the one week suspension handed to prop Josh Perry.

Woods received submissions from Alan Sullivan QC, on behalf of Perry, yesterday afternoon. Perry was suspended for one week by the judiciary on Wednesday night for raking the face of Wests centre Terry Hill.

Judge Woods says he will deliberate on the submissions presented by Sullivan and judiciary commissioner Jim Hall before delivering his judgement today.
