But, if we get all out points back then that means administration was unavoidable. Which means that really, the players lost due to the admin shouldn't have been and therefore the result of any game played for their new club should be void

We are getting 2 back aren't we. It shuts us up, barely gives Wakey anything to moan over and changes nothing. Surely nailed on?

I was thinking the same. A nice fudge that [imost[/i can live with. I wish they'd get on with it now.

But the problem is - apart from the two words "[iforce majeure[/i" - we know nothing at all of the grounds of appeal. So basing a judgment on that, either it was [iforce majeure[/i, or it wasn't. If it was, it has to be all points back, and if it wasn't, appeal fails, no change.

It seems impossible to say yes, it was [iforce majeure[/i - totally outside your control - yet you still lose some of the points.

And you obviously can't have a partial [iforce majeure[/i.

And if it was force majeure then anyway surely we would be back to where I always said we should have been in the first place- namely the RFL starting again, from scratch, examining the business plans etc of BBNL and deciding on a sanction, just as they did with BB2014. The independent tribunal could not move on to such considrations as obviously none of that is anything to do with them.

I cannot see you getting the full 6 back so hope that its 4.

WTW won't appeal any decision - they haven't got a pot to pee in so will have to just get on with it.

Good luck - I cannot envisage SL without the Bulls.

No, WTW won't appeal any decision because it is absolutely none of their business.

Didn't Carter at Wakey say he would walk away from SL if the Bulls got any points back ? This will be interesting if so.

I agree with FA in that it has to be all or nothing, partial reduction makes no sense in this situation.

My money's on nothing.

Some person on Facebook (yes I KNOW), is utterly adamant we are getting all 6 back. Why I bothered to post this I don't know.

Well said, you can't have a partial force majeure, it either is or isn't down to circumstances beyond your control, which should mean all or nothing. If this was big Nige and Ralph deciding, I might have expected a political outcome, but with a group of 'independent' lawyers, it should be 6 or nowt! Cue comments from WF ip addresses

That's not what you said on the Wakey board

Is it the Chief Exec of Pinsent Masons?
