what happened?

they played an ineligible player. someone who had played in the cup for someone else.

they got a little fine

But to be fair they won 100-0, so it's not as if they gained an advantage from it. If they had been turfed out it would have devalued today's result.

they cheated. any other sport they get kicked out. result is immaterial

I appreciate that, but had Cas been kicked out you'd have to think the final could have ended 100-0 to Leeds, and that's no good for one of your big days in the year when you're trying to grow a sport and market it as competitive. It was accepted as an error - albeit one a club shouldn't make - so disqual would have benefited no-one.

so it's ok to cheat because it made a good final? sorry I dont agree

Scored some fine tries, and a great effort overall.

It was a realistic ruling which followed the rules for dealing with mistakes like that. No-one in the sport is getting outraged about it, including anyone at Wakey.

Dunno about other sports but didn't FC only cop for a fine for doing similar? Jamie Thackery IIRC

They should have had it between the 2 SFs

Courtney Hills an absolute star, Cricket, Sprinting, Rugby League...No end to her talents

Good to see Leeds lifting the Women’s Challenge Cup trophy, on the main national bbc breakfast news this morning.

She's a better kicker than most of the men's first team (including current half backs!) IMO

Yep. Right decision in my view. The women’s game is essentially an emerging sport still with only very few participants, why throw the baby out with the bathwater over what is essentially an administrative error. Players cheat regularly on the pitch but we don’t advocate throwing their club out of the competition for it.

what did the inbreds do apart from playing players with 6 fingers per hand ?
