I've no issues with the 24-0 as you say that's what the rules state- and the board were well aware that would be the outcome. What im saying is that some clubs are deliberately using Covid to avoid fixtures and therefore not being hit with the same outcome - nice and fresh they can avoid difficult / congested fixtures
as for saints - did they have three open top buses also........ and if they are all above board as you claim why was it made public after id written my comment that saints are being investigated.......

both our chairman have intimated before that there are some clubs who are open and above board, I think Davy used the term integrity in relation to this, and some who are less so.

Re the open top bus comment, we all know the protocols on Covid make very little sense when it comes to player bubbles etc Jools, but rules are rules aren't they and if they haven`t been followed then that has to be punished.

I`ve said from day one the Covid, track and trace, 7 players business is so open to manipulation from Clubs, I would hope that the RFL had some way of auditing that but I don`t think they do...

Salford sought a postponement prior to the Covid stand-down, didn't get permission and then surprisingly managed to get 7 of their players marked down as close-contacts of a positive case.
As I said before, if that doesn't look suspicious to the governing body then I suggest that they all need a trip to Specsavers. Salford played the system and won, other clubs have lost out by being honest.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, the chances are that it's a duck!!!!!!
