We're 13th. Even in the unlikely event of David Icke stepping off a lizard spacecraft with our full 6 points wrapped up in pink ribbon - we would still be 13th.

And I rate the chances of Icke and the spacecraft higher than the points back.

Problem is there is no bottom in our glass!

There is a rumour going round about some secret hearing where the Bulls apparently appealed to get their points back. Force majeure or something.

It sounds far-fetched, but I am totally discounting it as surely if any such thing happened, then we, Wakey, London and the rest wouldn't be left wondering by the RFL well into June with the season half over. No organisation, surely, would manage its affairs in such a potical way.

6 points coming back i reckon : - )

@marcngreen: On the eve of finding out result of appeal, fingers crossed, whatever the outcome lets run together #COYB

Well so far this week we've had:

Kaufusi goes back to Hudds
Pitts picks up a ban
Wakey strengthen
Hull KR's Weyman gets his ban overturned, meaning he can now play against us.

Nothing but bad news so far from our perspective. A bit of good news tomorrow would be nice!

I'm glad that we have an outcome so quickly. Obviously, reinstated competition points would be wonderful.

Is it just me that doesn't read way that tweets worded as particularly positive? Hope I'm wrong mind.

Not sure about the glass being half full or half empty. I can't help but feel that somebody is now asking for their glass back.

...yep, before we drop it and break it.

I do not have a good feeling about this. But at least we'll know and we can try and move on.

At least we know if we have a slim chance or no chance!

I'm noting that word for future use

Good news coming methinks. But i might be wrong.

Someone at the club told me 12 points back. But I might be wrong.

wakey fans seem to think they have right of appeal if they dont agree with our appeal decision. dont how they can appeal against a decision against another club. fact it has implications for them is irrelevent. They could launch a legal challenge but think that puts their SL membership at risk too.

They should launch an appeal using Pinsent Mason solicitors.

...and funded by Legaldweeb

So can we appeal their appeal?

If as individuals or a club we could appeal, can I appeal to your better natures not to appeal even if an appeal against the appeal seems appealing, as whilst an appeal may seem appealing, this constant appealing is certainly rather unappealing.

But, if we get all out points back then that means administration was unavoidable. Which means that really, the players lost due to the admin shouldn't have been and therefore the result of any game played for their new club should be void

We are getting 2 back aren't we. It shuts us up, barely gives Wakey anything to moan over and changes nothing. Surely nailed on?

I was thinking the same. A nice fudge that [imost[/i can live with. I wish they'd get on with it now.

But the problem is - apart from the two words "[iforce majeure[/i" - we know nothing at all of the grounds of appeal. So basing a judgment on that, either it was [iforce majeure[/i, or it wasn't. If it was, it has to be all points back, and if it wasn't, appeal fails, no change.

It seems impossible to say yes, it was [iforce majeure[/i - totally outside your control - yet you still lose some of the points.

And you obviously can't have a partial [iforce majeure[/i.

And if it was force majeure then anyway surely we would be back to where I always said we should have been in the first place- namely the RFL starting again, from scratch, examining the business plans etc of BBNL and deciding on a sanction, just as they did with BB2014. The independent tribunal could not move on to such considrations as obviously none of that is anything to do with them.
