Any penalty from the RFL is entirely academic now.

Did Leeds consult with the SL or did they make the decision without getting approval first?
If they failed to consult then even if it was the right decision Leeds are at fault.
The argument is should we be refused we might have been stuck out there or the whole team would need to self isolate for 2 weeks.
But to refuse to travel without a discussion seems wrong unless i'm missing something.

they were in discussion from monday.

They must have spoken to the RFL as they issued a press release mentioning sanctions 1 minute after Leeds did on Friday. From that i guess Leeds didnt get approval to postpone the game and that is the issue.

Let's get the Leeds blinkers off here folks. Leeds had no right not to travel without RFL approval. Catalans should get the points and additional 2 point penalty would be fair imho

I'm sure the French public would be delighted knowing their wellbeing was in the hands of the RFL.Imagine if our squad had to isolate themselves after travelling to another country. The French would go spare and rightly so. The RFL can swivel. There's more important things than RL.

Are you mad? The government clearly laid out guidelines and Leeds followed them. The RFL are just trying to save face in this daft situation that our Government can’t make a proper decision on. The game should have been cancelled anyway as France and Spain cancelled all sporting events, but the RFL are too spineless to do that, Rimmer has an agenda with Leeds anyway. The game should just be replayed and that’s it.

Nothing that the idiot Rimmer and his cronies does surprises me really. If Leeds get a sanction of any kind they should get a lawyer on the case. Just rearrange the bloody game. It will be to Catalans advantage anyway as they will have Tomkins and their vociferous crowd back too

The only sanction i can see being any where near fair is Cats get the 2 points, anything above that is ridiculous

Cats get 2 points that’s fair!!
Probably will happen because the game is run by clowns thinking only about money and not players or public safety.
If one of the top clowns is infected then we will see what happens...the top brass make our sport the laughing stock

I’m going with no sanction and the game to be rearranged for either midweek w/c 1st June or if we are both out of the CC, that weekend.

Another doylem.
The RFL are clueless the Club did exactly the right thing had they travelled knowing a player had been isolated with possible symptoms who had been around the squad it would have been complete irresponsable.

Agree with this. Although I feel that the RFL are looking to make an example of Leeds.If and when they dish out sanctions be it points deductions and/or a suspended fine, they should challenge it on appeal or through the courts.After all they caved in when Wigan appealed a points deduction.

Let them do their worst. The negative publicity following any sanction will only highlight to the rest of the country what RL fans have known all along.

Especially with Toronto deciding to isolate the whole team? Would they get sanctioned!
