I used to like Worrincy but a few things put me off. Obviously this is the biggy and I do not think you can have anyone in your team betting against you no matter how small but also Rob knew what the problems were in his game but by the sounds of it was not willing to put in the extra time and effort to improve in those areas. If he had shown that dedication Im 100% sure that he could have made a good go of it in SL.

Did the RFL say that ? Or some Independent Appeal Tribunal ?

Blaming the wrong people here.

I like Rob. I won't be holding this against him for the rest of his life but he's made a mistake and been caught.

Not necessarily.
There are other options the RFL could take so the clubs are held to account, didn't the appeals panel only rule on the points deduction?

It remains to be seen if the RFL take any action against the clubs involved.

Sheffield away in't cup. Three or four onto one. All he had to do was pass the ball but no, he took the tackle.......?

I find it unbelievable that he did that to aid a bet, but at the time I found it unbelievable that he didn't pass the blumming ball!

I cant forgive him for that im sorry to say

I'd say that was more down to the reason he's a winger, can't pass, rather than anything sinister.

Quite right,
Don't ever remembering Rob passing a ball.
Dropping them yes, passing no.
Only joking he is welcome back in my limited opinion.

But with his pace if he decided to hang onto ot shouldn't he have been able to round the defender? Star shudds, Mallinsons Brewers Gold 3.7% Mmm!

Can't see them re-opening the case now and imposing some other penalty. Rod and back spring to mind. Now we have clubs suing for the 2015 funding they'd lost ......

You could well be right, it may well hinge on what Keighley do next, I listened to the statement from them being read out on radio Leeds coming back from the Fev game about legal action.
Bluff and bluster??
They do have a case though for what it could cost them.

There was part of the statement that read if correct that the RFL have executive powers and do not have to listen to what the appeals panel says, you maybe know more about the truthfulness of that statement.

Sheffield have lost out of £25,000 compared with what the table would've looked like with the three points deduction (which is itself a moot point).

Keighley have lost an estimated £250,000. Not sure how that's calculated but it wouldn't surprise me, taking into account lost gate money, central funds, local sponsorship etc.

Basically the RFL would just tell them to either accept it or eff off.

No win, no fee lawyers make that more difficult.

.......... for Industrial deafness claims and dopy accident at work claims maybe but surely no lawyer will work this case on that basis?

If they didn't, I'd advise against taking the action.

If your solicitors don't think you'll win, chances are you won't.

I always wonder why we didn't go after Barrow when we were screwed oit of the Gramd Fonal and the brass that went with it. Grove, shudds. Alchemy Starlaw 3.5% Mmm!

Was this message posted by Stanley Unwin ?

What a top bloke he was. I could listen to him for hours!!

"Once upolly-tito, in a land far awale, a young matrimole travellit for the count’n’census all checkly-box present’n’correckers there.

Joseph trickly-how along the roam with Mary all two-square on the botty astrile a donkey, seekit accomodakers. Weary weary all eye-rubbit and achey in the legbole, theyr turned the corm and spied a taverl all glittery in the dark there".

Well again , you cant argue with this statement .
