Can you either provide a former for the latter or retract that last statement |

Without the long-running speculation and hearsay surrounding Barrow and their recruitment policy, do you think the RFL would have felt the need to investigate? Would it necessarily have been reported to the RFL had there not been a lingering suspicion for some time? |

I think it was more to do with official complaints than speculation and hear say from fans. |

And where do you think the motivation came from to make those official complaints? It's obviously been proven that the rumours weren't without foundation and if anything didn't even begin to tell the full story! |

Personally we can go around in circles talking about this but I think the time frame involved suggests the (correct) speculation of some of the fans had little to do with it in the end.

Like the RFL would have ever allowed Wigan to be relegated?  |

You tell 'em tb! Tell 'em it's like Castleford's "new stadium" bollax that was put out in 2008. Paranoid speculation. Fact it with bricks and mortar. It's not happened till we've seen it with thine own eyes!!!!! |

RLFans reminds me so much of the classic Python sketch where Michael Palin comes in and pays John Cleese £5 for a ten minute argument.

I reckon they most likely came from disgruntled ex-employees tipping off the RFL.
If you really think rumours amongst fans are the reason the RFL investigate things, they'd never have a spare minute.
The vast majority of people on this messageboard can't put their personal feelings aside to make an intelligent and logical judgement. If they could, there wouldn't be so many people making illogical comments about the RFL (who everyone apparently doesn't like) not giving Wigan (who again apparently everyone doesn't like) the same punishment, despite the fact that they initially did (6 points) and everything after Wigan didn't do!
Some people need to get a grip, put different clubs who you have no animosity towards in the situation and then think about it. |
