Totally agree Josie, this club has been allowed so much leeway it's ridiculas.
Every season another name and different contriversy(spell).
If this was our club or any of the other long term established clubs we'd be kicked out of the league.
It blooming stinks.

Interesting that a rule change was only passed last month. Wonder if there was any prior knowlegde by the RFL of the situation at the Crusaders!!

Hmm, I wonder?

In the days of no promotion/relegation points deductions are pretty useless as a punishment. The deduction will hamper Crusaders chances of making the play-offs, but these were slim anyway.

They weren't any slimmer thsn last year.
The top eight system rewards mediocrity. How can a team in the bottom half of the table be classed as one of the top teams?

No we have to play a mid week game either before or after the WCC, because the RFL hate Wigan and want us to lose.

"Exile" said that the RFL hates Wigan. Not sure I agree.

The real problem is envy. It's an awful thing and let's be honest there is much about Wigan both historically and recently for other clubs and the RFL to envy. Actually it's even quoted in the Bible somewhere. Something on the lines of "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's ox, nor his ass, nor the pre-eminent position of Wigan Warriors". (Or something like that!)
So I'm not really sure that it's hatred - well, certainly not as much as we used to get from Twickers. And that may have been envy even then!

I've been told that Wigan Catalan on sat 4th June. Also told that they might be playing in Montpelier, if true is not good as you can't fly direct from any northern airports. Time will tell if my info is correct.
