Following the postponement of the Betfred Super League Round Two fixture between Wigan Warriors and Widnes Vikings, scheduled to be played on Friday 24 February, Wigan opted to have the matter referred to an independent Operational Rules Tribunal rather than accept an Agreed Decision. The independent Operational Rules Tribunal determined that Wigan Warriors breached certain Operational Rules, together with certain provisions of the Super League Code of Conduct.
However the tribunal considered the majority of these breaches to be technical in nature and therefore under the circumstances and given the measures that the club took, it determined that a fine was not appropriate and that a reprimand was the correct sanction, whilst also ordering Wigan to pay £2000 in RFL costs.
In response to a recommendation from the independent Tribunal, the Rugby Football League has committed to set up a working party, including the current three shared-stadium clubs and to be chaired by an RFL Non-Executive Director, to consider the challenges of fixturing of Super League matches (including in relation to shared stadia).
The Rugby Football League and Wigan Warriors have 14 days from the date of the written decision to appeal.

| Wigan running the RFL as usual
I'm glad a precedent hasn't been set, sounds like we did the smart thing referring it to an independent tribunal and they saw sense. Huddersfield are going to have the same issue next year.

Too many people confuse their hatred of Wigan with a quest for justice, and go into self-righteous convulsions when genuine neutrals don't share that position.
In reality, a minor indiscretion has been dealt with fairly and proportionately.
Now, if we can just get Dave Whelan to pay the two grand, justice will really have been served.

| The rescheduling of the match turned into a farce, but was still played at the same time as the other league fixtures, so there was no benefit to wigan or the wigan fans. The RL allow the Giants and Saints avoid the games rescheduled to benefit England RL and defer the game to last weekend that was clearly a move that was detrimental to the other SL teams who in effect had another "easter" with two games over a weekend period.

And Powell gets away with just a caution for stamping, while Ratchford gets a Grade B for the trip...

| Is the 'home' game v Widnes still on for a week on Sunday? Hearing a few whispers that this won't be at the DW.

| Widnes have offered all their season ticket holders free tickets and are saying it's at the DW on the Sunday so you'd think it's a given.
If not we'll just move it, not tell anyone, phone the RFL and tell them to brush it under the carpet and move on. Simples!

| They probably don't want anybody on it before they play Liverpool in a friendly.

Some one should tell Wigan Warriors then they are still selling tickets for this one on-line.
