Also on of the sunday papers has Garry Schofield wrighting the rugby colum he was calling for all the clubs to have 12 points taken off,

But thats comoing from Garry Schofield

It'll be very interesting to note what he writes (if anything) in his next column about the Hull & KR fans scrapping.

Interestingly, Schofield didn't condemn Hull when they breached the SC or got double money when Gateshead saved them from going under :exc:

The only thing I have read in the papers what caused me concern with our 'breach' was in todays WEP.

Last year, the clubs agreed to double the scale of points deductions for breaking through the wages ceiling.
What remains unclear however is whether the new scale of penalties applies to breaches in 2006 or from the 2007 season onwards.
An RFL spokesman said: "Wigan would like their hearing to be under 2006 rules rather than the 2007 rules."However the RFL would like it done under 2007 rules. Therefore
they will attend a preliminary hearing on Thursday."

Can't see why we would be bothered... unless we were worried.

Has anyone considered the only reason Wigan might be pleading not guilty is because they know they are up for a 12 points deduction so might as well try and argue them down to a lower points deduction as the penalty can't go higher than 12 points.

Also the RFL can not apply 2007 rules to the salary cap breach in 2006 because there is no way that Wigan could predict the rule change.

If the RFL use the 2007 rules then Wigan will take them to court and simple argue that the rules can not be applied retrospectively.
