| RFL has some answering to regarding thisWhen formally charged, Wigan’s first formal response to the charges was to admit them as breaches caused by administrative error and disruptive mitigating circumstances.
At no stage did Wigan respond to the charges with a not-guilty response.
Wigan were not offered an Agreed Decision by the RFL, as expected in the rules, before the Tribunal was arranged. Had this been offered earlier in the process, as provided for in the RFL Rules & Regulations, Wigan would have had the opportunity to research precedents and would almost certainly have accepted an Agreed Decision involving no points deduction, as offered at the last minute at the door of the Tribunal but with a substantial fine and costs.
The RFL legal team at the Tribunal represented the breaches as “serious” on a scale from “minor” to “serious” to “exceptional” in requesting a serious penalty from the Tribunal and cited Wigan’s breaches in 2004 (2 points deduction) and 2005 (4 points deduction) as relevant to consider.

Is this even serious? You do realise the principle that you can't be held accountable for someone else's wrongdoings is a basic tenet of any justice system, don't you? Or would you just like to make an exception in Wigan's case 'cos it's not fair and I hate you!"

It’s not someone else’s wrongdoings. It’s Wigan’s. Whoever was in charge is irrelevant. Unless it’s a different/new club in which case they should have restarted in League 1.

Go easy on them Snowie, things haven't been the same over there since Mr Wane and half of the team left at the end of last season.
Most of them seem to be playing for Catalan now, whilst others, despite changing club, seem to keep getting banned.
It's a good family club though.
