A guy on Southstander says Leeds are implicated - which surprised me. On Hull one or two think maybe likewise (ditto). I'd always assumed the two biggest utilisers were Stains and Wire, with the Pies stating they did not do it a bit ago.
All supposition at this stage, anyway.
I do hope we have not been implicated also (think the club implied that a bit ago when asked?) - and the fact that we are widely perceived - by our own fans - as getting less bang for our bucks might add support to that - but I guess we have to be prepared for implications if we are.
It does seem likely to me that quite a few clubs will be seen to have cheated the cap because of this. Would be of little comfort to us if it transpired that we had not, although I'm sure we'd seek to ram the noses in it of those who slagged us off so vociferously for "cheating" when we had our accidental breaches. But silly to make any assumptions at this stage.
If, perchance, we are NOT implicated but various other big clubs are, I hope those who have slagged the club off for not seeming to get the same value for their money in signings as certain other clubs will come on here and apologise? Equally, if it transpires that we HAVE been as implicated (would surprise me but who knows?) then I'll have to acknowledge and admit that one of my explanations for comparative squads is shot down. (still leaves some others though...
)
Whatever happens, its pretty inconceivable that the RFL would take any retrospective action - especially if Leeds are implicated. It would make the game a laughing stock. Cans of worms here regardless of what they do, though!
