The strange thing is the RFL save the highest profile individual award for an anonymous panel - who then use the award for payback because Wigan decided to challenge the salary cap regulations.

It's a shame I'm not more surprised by these shabby 'behind-closed-doors' tactics which are typical of the way in which the sport is run.
