FORMER RFL president John Whaling has demanded a "full and fair review" into the governing body's handling of the Mark Aston case.
The Sheffield Eagles head coach has copped an 18-month ban for breaking rugby league's player welfare policy.
Along with club physio Mick Heys, Aston was found guilty by an RFL tribunal of allowing full-back Matty Marsh to play in Sheffield's Challenge Cup tie at Wigan in March without the necessary medical clearance after an earlier concussion.
The bans were imposed by an independent Operational Rules Tribunal following an RFL compliance investigation.
Heys saw six months of his 18-month ban suspended for immediately admitting his offence and showing remorse.
