Whilst people are throwing around guesses, maybe the lower tax rate in France and the fact that its 10 degrees warmer in Perpignan right now than the North of England might have a bearing in all of this.

Hull and Rervers fans, can't you just all play nicely with the one brain cell

next week on social media ... we have a discussion without Little Humbersiders taking over the thread.
OK , it won't happen.

To go back to the original question: no. The matter for the tribunal involves how players were paid and, unless a similar allegation can be made against Cats, then it will be a different matter.

Ive always like Catalans, never had a problem with them (although we have been friendly with their fans since we went to Barcelona with them in 2009 and they sit with us at Magic Weekend).

Sky's commentary when they score tries sounds like they're telling the nation that someone has died. Also this season their player's professionalism has been questioned by Clarke and Carney. Then one week there were 80minutes of digs from Barrie and Tez about one thing after another (which is strange from those two because two years ago they used to love Morgan Escare and were more positive).

Maybe the negative stuff is happening because they have moved from being a novelty, to being contenders and the pundits have reverted to their inherent belief's and become somewhat more partisan.
