4k could have been worse though MC won't like it.
In a sport with no money, I find fining a rather odd thing to do tbh. I'm not sure of an alternative, certainly not points docking but something less detrimental.
Also seems rather petty considering we were only weeks away from liberation day and Trinity had nothing to gain.
I also firmly agree with others, if it had been Leeds, Saints or Wigan it would have been ignored. I know some will say otherwise to appear rational. but deep down they know. The RFL seem very good at being tough guys with the smaller clubs but like all bullies, they run away from the big lads.
