I don't blame them i would have done the same, but it just sums up the RFl no real leadership and always changing the rules and moving the Goalposts to Suite. Nigel wood is the Sepp Blatter of Rugby League an out of Touch A***hole.

I have signed the petition.
The problem is though, the RFL have cocked it up again.
Stand by the decision, legal action from Keighley, reverse the decision legal action from Batley.
It's a shambles.
Why make a decision and then reverse it.
Note to Solicitor Michael Steele, can you get us those 2 points back, can you get us reinstated in the cup and can you give us the trophy that Barra "won" and give us the money.
As I say, what a shambles the RFL are.

The championship clubs should have taken the RFL to court when they first started to wreck the integrity of the Championship and it's clubs

I don't blame them either. Rules are rules and they were broken. Football took the same stance with Legia Warsaw a few weeks back and stood by their decision the RFL should have done the same

I, too have just signed the petition.
However I would be even happier to sign a petition of no confidence in Nigel Wood & his fellow directors of the RFL. In my opinion they are the biggest bunch of inept and self gratifying buffoons this side of Sepp Blatter & FIFA.

Yeah - but they weren't on that Independent Appeals Committee, were they ? |

The best way out of this sorry mess is to go with a middle 12 of 13 next season and relegate an extra club, the RFL have messed up, they should bear the brunt of it, and do right by both clubs.
Equally, they should pay sheffield the extra prize money out of central funds.

The reason why the appeals panel overturned the ruling was based on precedent, saying other teams in previous seasons who had done the same thing had not had a points deduction.
Well what punishment did they receive?
If these latest clubs in question receive no punishment then that changes the precedent allowing teams to break these rules with no jeopardy.
They would say " Batley did it, Doncaster did it and were not held to account so how can you hold us to account for doing the same thing."
It's another farce that sums up just where the sport is leadership wise, Disney Land, if fact the joke is Mickey Mouse was seen wearing a RFL watch.

I'm not sure Sheffield lost out on prize money. But - hey - if you feel bad about it, feel free to send a cheque. 
13 next season ? Well, six extra fixture dates - where will those fit in ? And, of course, what's going to happen to the Summer Bash ? Not insurmountable, I suppose, but certainly a consideration. |
