surely we will take this as an opportunity to rest some?

Senior, Peacock, Sinfield, Webb, JJB, Al or Kylie would probably enjoy a rest,

get Watkins, BJB, Ratu, maybe Allen, Ambler, get a bit of gametime,

They've just had a week off they get next week off aswell for the CC final they'll need some gametime!

id expect with the few games and the opposition we would be on a down month this month ready for the big games next month and the month after,

i cant see a game against celtics reserves 2 weeks before we play saints will get us all that battle hardened, certainly not a huge amount more than a heavy contact session in training,

resting them this week gives us a 2 week mini pre-season before the Saints then the playoffs

especially considering the shifts peacock especially has put in this year

Rhinos by 54

I wouldn't be resting anyone this weekend. No point, we've got some points difference to make up.

The last thing the boys need to another week off!!

The lads have finally got cracking. They need to keep the momentum and build on the Cas performance. To have 2 weeks off in a row would be a killer. Maybe rest Peacock but thats about it imo.

I think this will most probably be the death of Celtic and it is possibly that they will not be in SL next season!

All points will stand, they will not throw Celtic out now and they will play out the season. To do anything else would be stupid and probably illegal. There is nothing directly in the operation rules of the RFL about the exact punishment for clubs who field ineligible players. The operational rules do state that unless you have a valid work/residents permit, you can not be registered as a player with the RFL, so that is clear. As another poster has stated it looks like that when they were originally registered their permits were valid but I am still a little puzzled as to why the RFL did not twig that with the rule change they might not now be here legally, but once again the operational rules just talk about having valid paperwork for them to first register as players at an RFL club, so I am sure that it what they will say.

If the UKBA find that Celtic have acted illegally I don't think the RFL has any choice but to throw them out of SL. You can not have a club knowingly breaking immigration law. Of course currently Celtic are innocent and if they are found to be so by the UKBA and the courts then they should be allowed to stay in SL.

cant make it so hope we dont break too many records, I was at Gigg lane so id still like to be able to say i saw Leeds biggest win this time next week

play your reserves? nah dont bother,you dont need to rest 1st teamers unlike the GIANTS,cos we are going to WEMBLEY

CELTIC BY 8,WORTH 50p on it

quality

Do you need directions? It'll be easier for you to find this time - they've built the M1 since the Giants were last there!

PS come on the Wire

They also built sheadingley the same year i think.
oh AT LEAST WE ARE THERE HA HA HA HA HA




WHINOS ARE OUT ! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You're applauding your own post??? Seiously???!!!!!!

I think the RFL saw this as one and only opportunity to create a SL farnchise in Wales - it was a gamble - sadly it doesn't seem to have paid off - would not be suprised to see the winner of NL grand final being offered the opportunity of a SL franchise.

Greg Eastwood has a speeding offence and immigration knock him back

Celtic have 6 players who should never have been here, how does that work, some serious questions need answering

Sometimes teams who go out to score a lot against a team on the back foot can struggle. Celtic will be talking about defending well all week and Leeds may try too hard and drop a lot of ball.
I can't see any point in resting anyone, one exception may be Peacock, especially if Kirke or Bailey are ready for a game. We do need the points though. There's no guarantee Stains will win this weekend, if they don't and we run up a big number then that takes a lot of the pressure off the Stains game. We might just be able to go out and play some rugby against them - which we really haven't done this year.

Maybe it took the immigration service longer to work out why anyone would want to work in Wales.

Intriguing that the players get the 'get out now' routine.By comparison to some media publicised incidents its a bit different to the 'wont leave till apppeals fail'.approach.
Is this normal for this breach or examples being made?

Anyone with specific WORKING KNOWLEDGE of the applicable rules?
I have recollections of seeing that employers get fined specified amounts per employee used.That in itself when added to presumed legal fees could stuff CC good and proper for some reason £50K per person comes to mind..

i think you are getting immigration and refugee mixed up. immigrants must appeal from their country of origin/birth whereas refugees typically believe that they cant return to their country of origin/birth for fear of persecution, and so any appeal is heard before they are removd from the country

Agree 100%. We all saw this coming though (the general mess, not the visa scandal), no matter how much we wanted it to work. Our other outpost at Quins is in a state too, only attracting tiny crowds.

Much that we hate to admit it, RL is doomed to be successful only along the M62 corridor. We should concerntrate on looking after our own. No wonder Widnes fans are pig-sick.

I suppose it could have been worse atleast with bloodgate going on in union this could slip under the radar

and also to answer:


I work at the immigration visa checking depo and the person who rang up to report it gave us a false name, ment nothing to me but maybe you lot might be able to figure it out, he said he was Harry Getherington

It's a total disgrace in my opinion.

Not to mention "powdergate" at Bath.
