Quote: Kelvin's Ferret "It is very strange to have different rules for different clubs in the same league in a professional sport, even if some players at some clubs are part-time.'"
Maybe it's just as strange to have a league in which some clubs are fully high level professional on full cap and and some clubs are semi-professional on just what they can afford.
A league where the difference can be a club spending like a Wigan or a Saints playing clubs with all their players on low level part time contracts.
Then the governing body deciding to apply different rules to different clubs. [i"those are the rules get on with it"[/i isn't the answer at all. Toulouse are guests only, and maybe it's them that should have stepped down for the season, whilst there is a healthy environment for all visiting teams to enjoy......
