I agree but it gets beyond a joke especially when you find yourself in this position. Was it Cas who get relegated when they finished higher than Cats?...shouldnt happen. Bottom should equal relegation. If they say they need time let them start at the bottom like Celtic did and they can build up against lesser teams/ squads

I don't condone you encouraging Toulouse to employ illegal immigrants

I think it should be different with Toulouse, because they already were an established RL team. (who were still allowed five overseas' players!)

so where Catalans but the RFL dont think about a level playing field

But Alan that was in the French League they now play in the English one, all should abide by the same rules.

Do you mean the rules the RFL make up as they go along to suit them

I thought I heard Phil COffey say at the LISA meeting that if we went down we would be looking into whether Gateshead had done anyhing illegal and if so we would be appealing if that is so, but it was quite noisey at that time, and I could have misunderstood. Perhaps someone will correct me.

Why not look into Batley then?

Refering to illegal Ausies i think and Gatesoz have a few Ausies dont they

He did but for what it's worth my view is that it's too late for that. Lets win on Sunday and hope results go our way for a change.

I think most fans know why we are in this situation but I think dignity is something worth retaining.

Don't think you can say dignity comes into it Frank. If a team employs players it knows(?) should not be here then they have cheated.

My obviously outdated view is if you have P&R then all teams should play and abide by the same rules.

we can blame every one but ourselves and from the start of the season it was evident to every one what our problems were and they have not been addressed although i admit the refereeing decissions this season have indicated to me that the r l big knobs have not forgiven us for the outburst by alan rowley over the franchisesut i have to agree that as the applications goal posts were moved it was justified] and we have paid the price unfortuatly,but the r l are now the laughing stock of the sporting arena
