Didnt the RFL suspend something with Batley because of non payment to the HRMC ?

what jurisdiction do the rfl have ove clubs belonging to SLE ?.

Full Juristiction if the said club(s) want to be part of the sport.......doesn't matter who owns them...clubs have to tow the line and obey whatever rules the RFL have in place that week.
News International are part of the TV consortium that pay to show the NRL.......Melborne storm thought they were invincible....they weren't!

i'd like to think your right,but i dont.

i buy programmes,i buy the LE,i see info from other outlets and everything point to one thing and that is..the rfl are an information gathering organisation.
when they've gathered that info they then pass it bacck to the chairmen of the clubs in SLE and then they make the decisions.
thats how it looks to me.

....there was a meeting in 2005 where Mr lewis made it clear to the SL Chairmen what would happen if London were not immediately voted back into SL after our run in with the Tax man....we were voted back in. This would point to the RFL running the game and having power over the ESL Chairmen that they can wield if they need to.
...as for your choice of reading material....even though I only started watching league in 2002....I quickly learnt that the RL press is more like reading the beano....except the beano has less made up stories in it

If you are looking for the true source of ultimate power in English RL.....I suggest you look towards Brentford Middlesex.....the home of SKY TV.

SKY TV are the crack cocaine of English RL.......once hooked, it is often very painful and very difficult to kick the habit and 1,2 million each a year is a hell of a habit!

Why would we want to do that? Fund a weekend away to get smashed by a team with 5 times or more the salary cap of ours and risk injuries!!! Ridiculous.

Super league doesnt want us any other time so why should we help them out now?

- so the club went from escaping one winding up petition, courtesy of a third party, Sir Rodney Walker, paying their tax bill (though this has since turned out to have been a loan), and carried on pocketing the national insurance and VAT it collected on behalf of the tax man (ok, some of the NI is almost certainly their employers' contributions, not just the employees' contributions collected by the club

I think he meant for the full season!

So we have Cru nicking 400k worth of pensions money, Wakey nicking VAT... Now the rest of us will be left to pay the price if HMRC reject image rights case on this basis... Smashing!

An important question that needs to be asked (on behalf of the Batley BoD).
If this petition was filed on 2nd December 2010 - why have they been allowed to sign players by the RFL? Or were all deals done prior to this date?

Seeing as most players contracts end in November I doubt it. One rule and all that. Having said that have they actually signed many or any players

No its not!

This debt was previously the subject of a payment plan which was withdrawn by HMRC after the RFL helped Crusaders move into Admin.

Wakefield hoped to cover the debt with a scheduled payment from York Court properties but the PI decision meant that payment was'nt yet due. Wakefield then approached the RFL with a loan request which was turned down leaving Wakefield exposed to a winding up order from HMRC.

The last gasp was the share issue request from the fans which was never going to work, so we now look like either going into Admin or being wound up.

No. As has been pointed out to you on the Wakey board. And as is clear from reading the club statement linked to by Wadski
