...not to mention the players that would have come to the club as we weren't guaranteed relegation

Basically, yes, although usually it won't cover all the actual costs, by some margin.

Thanks that clears it up. I was thinking that they didn't have a case at all as if the other side pay the costs they might as well have gone for it. But that makes sense no point being out of pocket when the money could be used for next year.

Would be interested to know what grounds they were going for in the appeal. States the initial appeal was through flawed RFL policy and the second was legally incorrect?

Apparently we are going to use the money to appeal the decision on the Joynt tackle

like!!!

Reads to me as if they are satisfied to stir the RFL up into reviewing their club insolvency procedures, but havent got much support from the other RFL clubs (who all have sugar daddies so no issue for them (until their sugar daddy dies of a heart attack and the widow says I want my money) so quite rightly want to focus on whats on the table in front of them. More props, hopefully.

Amen,
Can we talk about something else now.

Anyway good luck next yeaqr and I hope you come straight back up.
