Conspiracy theory #2, within 5 minutes!
Listen; really, truly, the RFL are absolutely NOT of that view. They dearly want a successful and prosperous Bradford club back, because it is good for the game, because they don't have many big fish, and because it coincides with the best interests of the game.
OTOH they have to weigh in the balance the need to both be and appear just, as nobody is, or should, seeking to play down the terrible situation that our going into administration was, there are plenty of valid justifications for financial "penalties" and consequences, but using them as a deliberate means to spike our playoff chances isn't amongst them.
The effect of having less money will of course be to reduce our competitiveness, but that is an inevitable consequence and should not be confused with a desired negative outcome. They could hardly do nothing.
This ones for the haters
