The trigger was not completing the 2 years fixtures. The fixtures will, absent another disaster, be completed. In any event until the season ends, logically the trigger can't be triggered. There are other complications too.

I think OK was very misguided when he took on the RFL's not very generous offer, his decision was every bit as poor as the RFL bods who made it. Taking half of the funding from an owner who, in terms of many other club owners, was far from "rich", was a recipe for disaster, and if you'll pardon my mixed metaphors, they harvested just what had been sown.

If it's any consolation to you, the one thing the RFL's conduct in all this has shown, it is that Mr Carter, who probably got the same kind of ' helpful advice', definitely has a point. The RFL, if we accept LeagueDweeb as being, at least semi-official, is economical with the truth, disingenuous and isn't fit for purpose.

Dweeb is not from the RFL

Yes. He appears to know far too much to work for them.

So who is he? Spill!

Very categorical there, FA??

Is this a bit like Star Wars. In a couple of days Chris Caisley will appear with a bad case of Asthma and say "FA I am Dweeb"

I think dweeb may know people that work at the RFL

I think you are in one of your parallel universes with this response. No solicitor in their right mind would allow such an open ended trigger. Another f' up by OKs solicitors. As you are quite fond of asking, show me the document with this wording, pdf via PM will be fine.

It's not an open ended trigger though. Once we completed the last few fixtures, the gun would be put beyond use.

I wonder if League Dweeb could be Chris from the shop who was dismissed in "social-media-gate"?

Whomever he is, this Bermuda triangle of LD, FA and MartinWildBull is seriously boring. What a carry on.

Unlike St Johnstone's first (and deserved) senior trophy!

Appeal now put back til first week in June according to Ross on twitter. Getting beyond a joke now.

One good thing, by the time the appeal gets heard, the 6 points we get back, with interest and inflation, should be up to 7 points.

The more this goes on the more you wonder why exactly has gone on.

I wonder if the RFL started down the rocky road when they gave Bradford and Wakefield a licence tbh. I suspect neither had a strong enough bid and that no one in the championship had a strong enough bid either (highly unlikely as a remember a champ club whingeing at the time that they had a stronger bid than Wigan or some rubbish. Think they were from somewhere called Halifax or something but I've never heard of the place and not sure if they even play rugby league there.).

Being honest how could we get a B licence with what we now know about the state of the finances.

How far in are the RFL with both clubs? They've lent money to each we know that. They silence from Red Hall is deafening bearing in mind the gravity of some of the accusations of late.
