Quote: Johnh1 "'Hetherington declined to comment on the punishment, but said the RFL is right to clamp down on clubs who break the rules. I think it is unacceptable for any club to be breaching the salary cap, particularly so blatantly as appears to be this case,” he stated.'
I don't believe that the detail of the supposed breach has been published. So how does he he know it is 'blatant' unless he has inside knowledge or has 'friends' in Red Hall? I think he is stirring things for his own clubs benefit.'"
Obviously he runs Red Hall, that is why they hired a lip reader to try get one of our players banned again, something that has nver happened before or since
Salford broke the cap, 6 point lets them off lightly, at a minimum they should be forced into the middle 8s this year, at a max they should be relegated depending on the severity of the cheating.
In the NRL they give out much more severe punishments and it has only really happened twice in the 25 years they have had a cap.
Here the RFL are too scared and only deduct a few points, thats why clubs keep risking breaking the rules
