But it does say on the official site.
"The tribunal handed down the increased sanction after rejecting Salford's appeal against the original fine of £10,000 imposed at a hearing on May 8.

The increased sanction is the points deduction. A points deduction is worse than a fine.

The fine has been halved to £5k but they've got the higher penalty of a points deduction as a result.

Dr Kool plays the victimisation card here:- http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... 6/8776800/ "I may be wrong, but previously the only time a club has been deducted points was for breaching the salary cap. I feel we are being victimised. A mistake was made in the heat of the moment, with only a few minutes to go in the match." Hasn't the Dr recently condoned breaching the cap in his quest for glory ?

He is, teams have been deducted points for other reasons, Wakey/Bradford and Crusaders all docked points for going in to admin

surprising that he's wrong considering his extensive knowledge of the sport...

He will be getting schooled in the ways of RL by Noby, first they play a player who was supposed to be on the bench, then they send an extra man on for thirty seconds, what doesn't sound a long time but when their line is being battered for the last minutes of the game an extra man fills a few big gaps, both players were involved in tackles, so if they played with 13 who knows it might have been a different result.

If the higher sanction is a points deduction I'm sure Cas would have raver lost 2 points instead of 40 grand for the verbal a player supposedly got.
