Do you wait until you get a bag of chips and then read the newspaper they're wrapped in?

Plenty of deterrent at Hull and other clubs to not do anything in the future if it means a fine or points deduction. Otherwise you just get some other sap to be the fall guy next time

If Kath and co were still here that'd be valid. How much of a deterrent is it to folk who weren't involved in the first place?

Any punishment will be for bringing the game into disrepute rather than the offences that took place.

Which brings us neatly back to the question of individual versus corporate responsibility.

The people who brought the game into disrepute are no longer at the club. If the club is found to have a corporate responsibility then the RFL would have to go after Kath and the other ex board members or be open to challenge. Can you see them doing that?

Why, they clearly had nothing to do with it.

It's old news now (in fact, it's "so last year"!)

Because its a distraction and sullied the Hull FC brand.

At least its off season and the players and staff don't have to answer journalists about it every week.

Rugby this month! Hopefully we can put it behind us and once the games start its forgotten about.
