Why does the club you support matter? No relevance at all. Idiot.

My problem is with the idea of 'retribution'. It has an overly punitive feel to it for me, especially when you remember that the people you would be punishing had nothing to do with the state that the club is in now.

Sure, there should be serious consequences for going into admin. In fact there already have been and there are more to follow. I'm not sure that kicking the club and fans while they're down is the way to go though.

A lot of people who may have advocated sympathy for the Bulls are likely to have hardened their stance following their 'only for as long as it was convenient' transformation into SL's most worthy charity case - players, fans, commentators and even the governing body joined in the emotional guilt trip to 'save' the Bulls, contributing to a level of hyperbole that was positively sick-making and could even be considered irresponsible.

Going into admin a short time later was a kick in the knackers for all those people and a massive two's up to the RL community.

If the RFL weren't complicit in the cover-up job that's been ongoing since the SL applications were scrutinised, I'd expect them to impose a severe penalty on the club; as it is, they'll smooth the way for a return to business as usual next season, and keep their fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again.

No, and they need the points deduction now they are in Admin

No one deserves to stay in super League if they cannot run their affairs correctly - Just look at RANGERS for tham one - Kick them Out, thay are living beyond their means

when does Bradford get points knock off them?
clubs in the past have lost points
or is it OK to go bust in super league and not have points taken off you?

and i do say sorry to Bradford but all clubs must be ruled on the same set of rules.
last year two clubs lost four points
and Widnes in the past

our game can not have double standards
other clubs will say it's OK to go bust from now on- Bradford is the "is the example"

Mate, calm down. We aren't even sure if the club will exist yet. When that is sorted then the points will be deducted.

We are being governed the same so, get off your pedestal and sit down. And why do you write your posts in the structure of a poem?

The points deduction is judged later this week, I believe.

They'll lose points but given where they are on the table it hardly matters!

6th with a good chance of making the playoffs?

Points are deducted in the season that a club enters admin. ?
Changing the subject slightly, thet are playing with an outstanding amount of pride and passion at the moment.
Although the players are in the shop window, its an absolute credit to the coaching staff and players that they can perform at this level with such a cloud hanging over them.

There is no truce with the furies........

When were Rangers in Super League? Have I missed something and have Stanley Rangers been bumped up to SL level?
