Any news on there appeal against the 6 point deduction. Taking into account Wakey are now up to 8 points - if they don't get any back I think they are knackered

I think its at the end of May.

they shouldn't get anything back. bloody cheek appealing

I know they have a game in hand but Salford are right down there with them.

London are already down for me. Depending on how many points Bradford get back if any it's between them wakey and salford

They'll stay up IMO.

They won't get points back, but towards the business end of the season they'll start picking up unexpected wins left and right and go on a really good run of form. Wakefield will go down.

I know it defies logic, but I just........''know''.

Hope your wrong about wakey would like to see Salford and London down

Everything to win for them, nothing to lose.Just a thought should the appeal process carry the threat of increase points deduction if it fails, similar to the disciplinary panel appeals?

Personally I think so. You can appeal but carries the risk of further points

No chance of Salford. Ain't they signing Benji Marshall for last three months of season?

Cannot realistically see Salford going down, but it would be nice

Don't need him, Rangi Chase will rip teams apart and put 50 points past them single handedly.

Or run around like a headless chicken so that even your team mate have no clue what your doing

Shush, it's his teammates fault that! Teamwork is overrated in team sports anyways!

Not heard that one. Any substance to it?

Just the media. It's been mentioned a few times in media.

Interesting. It'd be great to see him in SL, but maybe not in those circumstances.

Didn't the league make that more difficult after Johns' little jaunt to Cheshire?

The reality of this appeal is it only ever likely to see Bradford given 2 points back and as such, making the punishment a 4 point deduction as opposed to 6. Anything other than that is likely to see the RFL placed it a very precarious legal position & independent panel or not, I am sure that will be made clear to the panel by the RFL.

Marshall has signed for the Dragons (ST George type).

They shouldn't get any back.
They've done wrong, again and should be punished.
Granted it's quite sad what is going on at Odsal but unfortunately if you don't pay overdue bills and go into Admin this is what happens.
Rules are rules and are there for a reason.

I wouldn't shed a tear if either Bradford or Wakie left SL, simply because I have never read or heard one of their fans, from either sets of supporters, give us credit, or show support for another Yorkshire team on our many Grand Final appearances over the years.

Karma can be a bitch.

After what today's score is looking like, I would say even with all the points back, they still won't finish above Wakey now. Not with the points difference as well they would have to make up.

I expect Wakey to be able to pick up at least 3 more wins from their remaining 15 games at least. That would leave Bradford needing 7 wins from 15 just to draw level (which even then might not be enough due to points difference which is quite in Wakey's favour).

Just can't see it, the only small question in the relegation issue is will London manage to pick up a win? Credit to them they've shown a bit of fight this year and scared Hudds, Wire and Wigan, I think they'll eventually get a win on the board.

Here's hoping. Would be hilarious if they did go down. Their fan base was always so success orientated, I still remember the ''show us yer trophies'' banner they had at headingly in 2004, what's happened to them was an inevitable consequence of such a shallow mindset.

And don't anyone take the moral high ground with all this ''super league needs a strong bradford, blah blah blah''.

Super league could use a strong everything. But sport is cyclical, they'll always be good teams and bad teams. Bradford are now one of the sh*T teams and have been replaced at the top by now stronger clubs.

The Bulls total collapse today against the Saints indicates to me that the players there have realised that due to Wakefield Wildcats 2 most recent and unexpected victories at Hull FC and Widnes have probably condemned them to relegation

I hope that they don't get any points back at all in their appeal as IMO they clearly don't deserve to,but i can foresee that the deduction will be ammended to a 4 point deduction

The Bulls must be the worst run club ever during the SL era and Chris Caisley must take the brunt of the blame without a doubt for his inept dealings whilst he was in charge there
