Well if it's proved the RFL advised Bradford to go into admin and we were advised if we went into admin we'd be kicked out of SL this story won't go away

Are the RFL legally bound to adhere to any decision made by this "independent panel" which according to an earlier post was paid for by the Bradford owner?

Update from Bulls twitter;

@OfficialBullsRL: (1/2) An independent Sporting Sanctions Appeal Panel today heard evidence prepared of behalf of Bradford Bulls. The panel has requested...

@OfficialBullsRL: (2/2)...further, supportive information and is to decide on the outcome of the appeal in due course.

No news today it seems, the panel will tell them in due course

That's how I read it also. Which is quite interesting.

The claims must be substantial enough to be taken seriously, although if the Bulls had proof, I would have thought they would have taken it to the hearing.

you would of thought that would of been on the table before they started

Ridiculous.
Have they not had sufficient time already to prepare their 'evidence'?
Should have been thrown out.

Totally agree, if they didn't have enough "supportive evidence" to overthrow the points deduction, then the result should be no points returned!
Sounds like the panel are trying to do as much as they can to give the points back.

Change the record!

The panel is independent. If they come back and say we can't have any points back then this is the decision. If they come back and agree the circumstances were a little 'dodgy', then you should ask what was dodgy, and why certain parties acted in a certain way. This is not a Bradford V Wakey fight - It's a Bulls v RFL fight.

Do you really think the RFL want to be proved to be the wrong party? They will not want any points handing back to Bradford as this will open the next can of worms as to 'what really happened'.

Trust me, the world is not against Wakefield.

at the possible cost of our club get real

Would have thought they would have taken every piece of evidence with them.

the point is - If there is a decision where points are returned, then the RFL have some serious questions to answer. The RFL are certainly not on Bradfords side with this.

I know there is a lot at stake this year, but you shouldn't be relying on a points deduction to save your team from relegation.

For what its worth, I can't believe that you guys haven't already taken action against the RFL for their apparent 'empty promise' of instant relegation.

I think the panel are doing a thorough job so that whatever the result neither party can complain. Essentially if Bradford didn't take some evidence deemed important to me that suggests either they don't have it, or the individuals representing them aren't very professional.
