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.

You are right, it's not practical the six extra round of fixtures would make it unworkable unless you do an Aussie NRL style season and don't have perfect home and away fixtures.

Not perfect, I'm not even suggesting it's a solution but in some ways better than doing the dirty on a decent club.

Sheffield will have missed out on money by not finishing fourth, I'm led to believe fourth got more money than fifth.

The RFL have a history of making new rules without properly doing due diligence on how they could be abused and penalties if they are

They introduced the salary cap into the NL s ( Championships ) in 2004 by basically using the SL rules with the figures altered, at the following meeting to discus it ,the whole thing was pulled apart by the various club representatives

Clueless

That's true - but had there been no breaches of rules, we'd've needed to both pick up the two points against Batley and Dons would've had to lose their bonus point. Both possible - but, really, we ought to be looking at other games during the season to see why we lost that money.

For me - the killer to the 13 team division is the Summer Bash.

Maybe more like, my mate did get caught speeding but wasn't fined so why am I even in here.

This time though an innocent party gets hurt and still no punishment.!!

It does beg the question - what evidence was presented ?

If Batley said "these clubs broke the rules and didn't get punished because the RFL didn't notice" that's one thing.

If they said "these clubs broke the rules and didn't get punished" but leave the Tribunal to assume the RFL noticed, I think they lose the moral high ground. Truth, whole truth etc etc.
