The old regime broke the rules of the salary cap at some point. If that's the case you have never been punished for this. Could RFL rules still give you another points deduction for this?

To go with our 6 points this season and massive financial penalty for the next two seasons....oh yes that would be fair. Unless they have given us the extra two points that Wakefield didn't get for just that.

And if we did break the sc rules, then we need a better bl00dy accountant.

Six point deduction this season, no more Sky money. Reduced Sky money for the next two years. How much more punishment do you want to give us? Not bad compared to the paltry four point deduction Wakey got is it? Why don't you just come out and say you wish we had gone bust? It must be gutting for you that we are still in super league.

Old news and was done with years ago. If supercat gets any new news I'm sure (s)he'll pass it on - some time before 2020...

Yes of course all the other teams have always followed the cap rules to the letter?

No payments for consultancy, side jobs, cheap cars , family members employed at non-market rates. Ever looked at some of the current squads and thought how do they get all that for £1.6m? The reality is that teams which are strictly following the cap rules are probably only doing it because they don't have any more cash not because of any high moral standpoint.

Yes the Bulls along with several other clubs were "caught" in the past and had points deducted, however it's like the current arguement about the level of tax the rich pay - if you have enough money you can avoid paying a lot of tax - and if a club has enough backing it can get round the cap.

Old news.

I think you will find over the past 3 years the RFL have been monitoring everybody’s Salary spending on a monthly basis.
Also why should we get less SKY money! Did Wakefield get the same when they went bust, the idea is to get the club moving again not keep crippling them so there is an excuse to send them down!!

Does anyone remember the argument Keith Senior had with the Rugby League when the Crusaders opted out? There was a quote from the League at the time saying that Senior had signed a very modest playing contract (i.e. within the cap) and the company of which he was a director had agreed a more substantial "consultancy" contract.
That said it all for me

Joke.

Disgrace.

They say monitoring over last 3 years but all we can do is take their word for it. You get less Sky money as you had advanced payments from Sky money to keep you afloat. Wakefields admin process was very swift compared to Bulls therefore didn't need to ask for these payments. They raised money through player sales during this small period of time.

No.

Bulls received the payments that they would have received anyway. I do wish people like you would stop repeating this disingenuous nonsense. Saying something is so will not change what was actually so.

The reference is to the reported no more Sky money this year, and 50% deduction next two years.

no we had our best players cherry picked for pennies, we payed our creditors and were prepared to be playing in the championship and had to rebuild a complete new team instead so which would you prefer
