So they aren't waiting to see how much we repay to any creditors and factoring that into the deduction (up or down) as they did for Crusaders and Wakefield? Did they change the rules or is this just the usual lack of any consistancy?

Its piffling and the least of the problems facing the club.

As they've seen the written offer then they'll how much debt is due to be payed. I'm guessing not much hence the six points.

Given the RFL haven't explained the decision you can interpret it in a few ways. As usual we're in the dark.

Is this a real six points, or just a starting point for discussion six points?

I'd say it points toward the offer under consideration involving a newco, rather than a CVA.

Typical RFL though, why do this now without explanation? Other than for the sake of being seen to be doing something.

Aye. But Martyn Sadler did tell us yesterday the 6 points decision. Maybe they've explained it to him?

So 4 for Wakefield and Crusaders and 6 for us? Consistency. NOT.

What is sad - but absolutely no surprise at all - is that, as per, the long-suffering fans trying desperately to do what they can to keep the club going, are again treated with utter contempt by a major player in the saga.

The morons at the RFL have been shilly-shallying over this decision and putting it off for a couple of weeks. How hard would it have been for the ignorant cretins to have had the courtesy to at the same time as announcing the decision (which was seemingly leaked yesterday to at least Martyn Sadler), issue a short statement, for the benefit of the fans, to explain their decision/reasoning for the record points deduction (by a factor of 50%), however cursorily?

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



They were only deducted four because the creditors were going to be paid. That was the given reason for the 4 pt deduction. Read into the max 6 point deduction what you will . Suggests possible liquidation and a newco to me. However everyone is still in the dark.

It looks like an exercise in due process.

They have described the 6 points as "a penalty for going into Administration". So 6 points is now the benchmark simply for going into Administration. If we go bust then at least, from the RFL's point of view, they've established a new going rate.

It also leaves them with the option of imposing a quite separate penalty if the club is liquidated and a Newco is formed.
