The Rugby League Express last week said that both Wigan and t'Bulls would be docked 2 points as they were both over the salary cap by the same amount.
Just be grateful now that Farrell left before the season started otherwise we would have been £305k overspent and docked 6 points!

If they are, where does that leave them in table?
Same position as they are in now, 4th, but on 24 points instead of 30 and ahead of Salford in 5th who also have 24 league points, on points difference.

If they get docked 6 points then it makes their achievement of winning it from 3rd which was hailed last season as huge effort a sham.

They will still be known as 2005 SL champs though which is ridiculous especially when you consider last season what won them the competition was their ability to have more fit players then any of the other three top sides on the pitch for the playoffs.

I wonder what the bookies will make of it? Anyone who had a punt on Bradford from 3rd would have made a tidy sum and the bookies won't like the fact they have been cheated. Not much they can do about it now. Except sue Bradford for their losses?

I will tell you what really stinks about bradford being over the cap, They brought Adrian morley in for the play offs, if they were at the limit of the cap before then its just plain cheating!!
