Neither the Club, the club we played or the RFL until a supporter of the club we played read it on here.
Loose lips sink ships.
I can`t believe that someone from our Club didn`t know about this as the player certainly did , if they didn`t then it was negligence on someones part however the fact it was mentioned on here did alert the other club and the RFL . It should never have come to that though he should never have been played and it wasn`t as if he did anything in the match anyway .
I`m sorry to say although it seems harsh I have no sympathy whatsoever ,if you play ineligible players for whatever reason it`s the Clubs responsibility and they know the rules. It`s up to who ever has the job of keeping an eye on these things at the club to do their job correctley. Why should the RFL be looking at every player ,from every team, every week and sending out notices to every team saying " You can`t play player A this week `cos he was banned for 3 weeks , can`t play player B at another club re` CC cup tieing and then all the Duals . It`s not their problem it`s the Clubs .
