It has to be said that the post below, where the contribution to the competition is a factor, is an epitome of a playing field that isn't level.

The penalty should be judged on its merits, and not, "you're okay because you had Bullpower".

What a load of poop

Running scared (though I don't know why. We'd struggle to stay up without a points deduction) is Carter. Reading between the lines it wouldn't surprise me if Wakefield aren't far off an insolvency event. He wants to stop signing players and start living within his means. Doesn't matter if your debts aren't big if your income is love all. The ground only holds 5000 and they can't even fill that. The fact he's had to put up his own house as capital for finance prove they aren't cutting their cloth and he hasn't a pot to mickey in for underwriting losses. He'll reap what he sows.

If Carter was told by RFL Wakey would be relegated if they went down then we get 6 points back then I would agree with his comments it is unfair. However I don't think we'll get 6 points back unless the independent review finds the RFL acted hugely inappropriately during the admin process and it could have been avoided if they had not acted inappropriately. But that's not going to happen. Maximum we'll get is 2pts back. I think Michael Carter would have been better withholding his comments until after the appeal process.

Either way Wakey cold soon be following us. He has worked his backside off to save Wakey. But he doesn't have money to write off debts, their attendances are really poor, plus I think I RFL have struck another beauty in not letting them have a home game for about 6 weeks like they did with us last year! I think the extra sky income may have saved them.

He's twisting stuff though. They didn't say that much like saying we only lost sammut and scruton and made no other savings is rubbish

if he did then and you had got all the points back would they then listen to his statement in the same way, FWIW I have no doubt if you have shown similar repayments to creditors you get 2 points back but it still doesn't go the hole way to when we got threatened with being kicked out of the league. Its not all about Bradford there is a lot going on besides that but that will be up to the club to respond.

at this moment its like trying to box with your strongest arm tied behind your back

So the view of this Wakefield is that he IS trying to influence the outcome of our appeal?
