Got our 2 points back

[fozzieskem]

Common sense and justice has prevailed. These matters should always be adjudicated by independent people. The original decision makes the game look stupid.

Wasn’t the original ruling from an independent tribunal?least ways that’s how the original statement came out anyway.

Nothing to be proud of,although I always thought the points docking was over the top the fine was right and just,as the club admitted they went over the cap.

I’ve no doubt it was an error but from now on I hope this sort of thing doesn’t happen again,of course the easy way to get round is to ditch the damn cap but that’s for another day.

The most depressing thing here is that some people think that £14 grand is enough to influence the outcome of a season, sweet Jesus, how little is the average RL player earning if £14 grand over a year is enough to influence the season? It’s less than £500 each for the whole squad it’s a tenner a week. The finances of RL are so out of whack with what we expect no demand of players its scary.

i get the cap is a cap thing, but the figures involved are minuscule.

To me it highlights how underpaid our players are, I remember an agent being appalled at a kid who played in the grand final 2 years ago was on less than minimum wage, and we are talking about signing George Ford on ½ a million a year, how will that sit with the rest of the squad?

The original decision was also taken by an independent tribunal.

The original was a independant tribunal set up by the RFL

The money wasn’t even paid to players. It was money paid to players agents as agents fees.

Glad we got the points back given our current form.

Whether the original tribunal was independent or not doesn’t matter. What does is they and the RFL managed to ruin the start of a new season with the negative publicity due to coming up with such a ridiculous decision and announcing it when they did.

If it had just been a fine as it should have been I doubt it would have been the front page news that it was.

I meant independent from the game.
