Or you put together a squad within the salary cap.....just a thought

I would imagine the club did think they had done that and probably never imagined that the situation that has now occurred would ever happen to them. How many other clubs vote along the same lines?

There is 9 other clubs in the championship

Also to make the purists happy that don't like the bonus point - had this rule not been in we would have finished below Toulouse, so should make you feel a little better.

Good.

Reason I asked was because when Awen Guttenbeil signed for Castleford, he had a clause if they got relegated, but he chose not use it and still came over, despite Cas not been in SL.

....and had Gateshead not been allowed to play to different rules and had the RFL not ignored Donnys plight which allowed Batley to pick up at least two of their better players, then results might have been very different.

PS I still think you are related to Richard(head) Lewis
