another blatant attempt by the RFL to help gateshead.

Prob wont really matter much at the end of the day BUT its def outside the spirit of the game in my opinion, ok they are not members of the RFL but they have all participated in the 2009 Challenge cup for another team. Once again the RFL make themselves look like Clowns and open to accusations of twisting the rules to help certain clubs.

Is it really only last season that Hull broke this rule, and the RFL then made everything watertight to stop it happening again?!

Mind you, given their incredible inconsistency (within seven days) over the re-arranged Leigh/'Fax game, this doesn't surprise me!

The decision is totally flawed, but they'll still get stuffed...

RFL= Real Fecking Liars! They change the rules to suit teams. Why is it OK for Gateshead? If this had been Fax, Widnes or Fev the answer would be "NO"! The RFL should be treating all clubs fairly but they do not. Toulouse are exempt from relegation. Gateshead are allowed to play players that have already played in the cup. Celtic and Gateshead are allowed to play with a load of Overseas players while the rest of the Championship sides were or are allowed only 1! Is turning me off watching the Pro game as things are not fair for all the teams and the RFL are not a neutral body.

I may be wrong, but isn't Rod Findley, Chief Exec at Gateshead, the RFL's Solicitor?

If it stops St Helens scoring another five tries on the day then i'm all for it.

Gateshead for super league. Nailed on

This is absolutely disgusting by the way. We can all see what's coming..........

Will be real LOL stuff this weekend when Celtic -v- Catalans is on the box. Knowing SKY they'll computer graphic "fans" in the stands. Rather than get wound up re all this crazy cuckoo nonsense expansion bow locks, let's just sit back and admire the huge hole these idiots are digging. LOL stuff IMO.
