I'm pretty sure the RFL have been consulted along the way.
What makes you think they haven't been?

| Quote jaws1="jaws1"Wigan should be fined and forfeit the game 2 points awarded to Widnes and the fixture deemed as played .Wigan will lose revenue and then they will think again about cancelling fixtures.'"
And what do you think the other clubs would think of that? What if Widnes make the top 8 or top 4 on the strength of those two points meaning that a club ends up in the middle eights or loses a home game in the super eights? If Wigan did not consult the match commissioner or the RFL then they should be fined heavily at least.
How someone can the pitch looked o.k as they walked past it beggars belief. How close were they 50 - 100 yards. My back garden looks ok this morning but when I actually stand on it it's sodden.

| The issue is not with the pitch being sodden, its down to Wigan Athletic saying they don't want us to play on it as they have a "six pointer" on Saturday.....end of. Lenegan as always then tries to dress it up as it being in the best interests of both clubs when deep down inside its because he has the backbone of a flump.

| Not here to Troll, but I do think it's becoming more and more apparent that you need your own ground. Never liked the notion of ground shares in the first place, Christ if Cas can manage a new ground anyone can.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

Yep your right.
So play it on Sunday either at your waterlogged ground or at the LSV?

| Can't realistically give the points to Widnes, it's a game they might well have lost and it could have big ramifications on the final table. Neither can they be docked from Wigan as I don't imagine for a minute that the RFL won't have been privy to this decision. To be honest, regardless of the statement, I suspect this might well be a circumstance beyond Wigan (RL's) control. Maybe the only thing to do is to regard it as a simple postponement due to weather, i.e. in the same way as if the ground were flooded or a foot of snow had fallen? It 100% smacks of an unequal partnership though.

| Rumours that Wigan are being forced by the RFL to play the game tonight.

If I don't show up to a game I'm likely to win I can't laugh at the ref and say "You can't give them the points, I was going to walk it but don't really fancy playing".

In what way would giving them to you (I'm assuming you're a Widnes fan) be fair on the other sides who actually have to win games to earn theirs?
