According to virtual terrace, appeal is June 2nd, which is a bizarre date to have it, given our match is the day before. It will either be the best two days of your season, or will be the door slamming.

Another date of intrigue for your diaries, 16 July. When OK's High Court application re the conduct of the creditors' meeting will be heard.

in which case, I expect the points deduction hearing will be postponed until after this date

The cynical amongst us would suggest that how successful the appeal will be will depend on the result against the Wildcats. Luckily I am not cynical, but a big believer in coincidence.

My inner cynic says were did this date come from? It looks like someone pulled the date out their booty just to stir up some controversy given the proximity to the Wakefield game.

But that's just me and my weird need for facts

It was the first day that our chosen advocate, a Mr. Carter from Wakefield, had free in his diary.

I blame the referees...

And Withers never got a touch.

Interesting how the actual points deduction confirmation seemed to be delayed until we played Wakey away and now the appeal which originally was to be before Magic w/e is now scheduled for day after Wakey at home!!!! Coincidence or not?

and Jamie never knocked on

easy to read too much into it, always going to be a battle of the diaries, and if thats what it takes to get an independent panel and the QC of our choice, then so be it.

Interesting choice of words, "QC of [i:rh5bi58lour[/i.

I'm assuming that, as the ruling body, the RFL set up, and therefore approved of and would have had a veto over the members and terms of reference of the appeal team, rather than 'us', though nothing would ever really surprise me anymore. As I've said before, I hope we get a 'Leveson' and not a 'Hutton' figure but a Hutton type whitewash would be no surprise at all.
