| Doesn't really matter why, does it, we're only going to get half the money of everyone else for two seasons and that is that. I suppose you could say that, overall, in a very complex set of goings on between the RFL, Sl, administrator, SL clubs and chairmen etc etc the RFL obviously thought that taking everything they had learned into consideration (which will obviously be 100 times more than we mere observers know) this is what they would require, and since OKB [iare[/i the new owners, they equally obviously agreed to take this "medicine".
So i am not having a go, but any navel-gazing as to whether this or that woulda coulda shoulda or fairness etc is surely irrelevant; we are where we are, OKB agreed what they agreed, and are getting on with it.
It may be a total outrage, or it may be the fairest thing ever, I don't care any more, it is what it is.
All I will say is it is yet another poke in the eye to our many trolls and critics who accused OKB of effectively not paying enough, it has cost and will cost them plenty. The only question to me though is what will the RFL do with that "windfall". Don't think anybody has commented.

| Which is irrelevant if perchance the RFL had "voluntarily" chosen to settle certain creditors of the former company, for whatever reason.
If have no idea whether or not they have, although if the RFL has not been put under a shedload of pressure from Sport England, as a disher-out of public money, regarding losses incurred by the collector of public monies, after the Rangers debacle especially, I would be very surprised. And of course the RFL could well be seen by some as a soft target compared to say the FA or the RFU or the TCCB or even the LTA. But I honestly have no information in this regard.
I would be pretty surprised if the RFL does not settle the small amount of rugby debts, maybe out of the Bulls' fines, but given its the RFL who knows?

| It's fair enough that any rugby debts are settled when membership of a rugby competition is involved, I just fail to see why the reasoning has to remain secret.

Well they're no use to the current season, so maybe they could add them onto next year?
