Thank you.

The £20k bit is there because if they're getting paid less than that, chances are they are a young un-established player so can still play

Ben Crooks, I'd imagine is a £60-80k kind of player and had only played two games so would break that rule...again I'd imagine

Well, it was debated only last week that he didn't qualify to play (Crookes, yet he appeared.
So the club must have been aware you'd assume.
If we get clobbered, I can only assume it is a conspiracy by the Seagulls to do down three of their main rivals ... I have to blame someone.
It can't be the Dons fault ... they'd be thickos right?

The fact that three clubs are involved suggests to me that the RFL actually read the team sheets the club hands in and have instigated the action themselves.

I think he knows that

my point is there is the rule for DR players.Im suprised clubs are not aware of this, this has been am on going discussion on out forum and others for most of july as the deadline approached.We have 2 players hand and forster who have played for us all season who can play after the deadline, but were were suprised on sunday when Adam swift was in the rochdale team the first time he has played for them this season, we would have though if he was eligable to play we would have seen him up at haven like last season

Are Rochdale being investigated ?

I've heard on the grape vine that the powers-that-be made an error in communication to the clubs last week which may have resulted in some confusion over who was eligible to play for them.

Meanwhile, I'm also hearing that a club located not so far from yourselves may be in deeper do-do after fielding an overseas loan player for whom they did not have a valid work permit. Something or other to do with the players existing work permit being employer specific?

Mistakes do happen.

Lets hope that is correct about the mis communication . Just hope we can put this all behind us on Sunday !

Who is this Doctor Breach anyway?
His he a specialist in difficult deliveries?

That took longer than I thought; I've been singing it to the tune of Dr Beat

Well it is typical RL rules. Arse about face

I love how a simple term of ar$e on this site becomes booty. Hi Hi Captain

According to their web site Dewsbury have no case to answer !

Because the Bulls have confirmed the player Sam Wood is under the £20,000 salary cap requirement and therefor under rule BS:17 the minimum 3 games does not apply. Doubt if that rule can be used in Ben Crooks case.

The suggestion is that 2 of the 3 will face sanctions so I guess that would be Batley and us.

Announcements are due later today.
