I want to know what is going to be done about Huddersfield Underbank postponing two of their games at the start of the season as they could not field a strong team.
Can teams just pick and choose went they want to play??
As a Featherstone Lions fan I feel not only my club but other clubs are at a disadvantage due to Huddersfield playing two games later in the season when they were due to play these games at the start of the season. They will be at full strength when they now play these games and will probably win. If they were made to play when they should have they may have six points less than they have now.
Earlier in the season we went to Liverpool with a bare thirteen and got beaten heavily next season shall we just decide to play later in the season when we have a stronger team out.
I don't feel this is fair and now Huddersfield are sitting in second position which is a disgrace. This will probably cost us finishing second!!
No didn't like their attitude but they did have a point about the league, even if they were hypocritical, Underbank would have been chucked from the NCL if they'd tried anything like this
All the clubs should make their concerns known to the people running this competition. Things like this have been happening for way to long.
One of the worst part of it all is the cheek Huddersfield had to put a presee release out saying that it was Gateshead that couln't raise a team. Are the RFL aware of this??

Whats the point?
the people in charge won't do bugger all. i guarantee it.
I think it is disgraceful if a team has deliberately postponed a match to wait until they get a stronger side. If this is proven to be correct then Featherstone and Gateshead should get the 3 points and the scoreline should be given as 30-0 to each team. Underbank should also be hit with a heavy fine, stripped of 10 competion points and they should have to play both games in 2010 against Featherstone and Gateshead away from home as a penalty and a warning if it happens again they will be kicked out. The RFL needs to take a heavy stand and I think the other clubs in the league need to take a stand together to fight this as it is a blight on the game and if the league is to gain credibility and continue to grow action needs to be taken now and the RFL must show an interest in this competition.
