2014 DR solution? : Mon Sep 15, 2014 7:28 pm  

Amazed the wife came up with this one after reading the league express but it's possibly the better outcome under the circumstances to appease all concerned clubs.


The league table remains as it is for the sake of the play offs - it would only get messy otherwise.

The rfl reinstate cougars in to the championship - 13 team league, after the super 8's the bottom team is relegated to C1

The RFL acknowledge the rule breach of both Doncaster and Batley by way of a reduction of competition monies to the value of the league position payment they would have received should the points deduction have taken effect.

The teams affected, Whitehaven, Keighley and Sheffield are compensated by payment to the final league table position they would have taken should the points deduction have taken effect against Doncaster & Batley for the breaching of the rules.

Would this be fair?
Would the RFL apply such a ruling?
Would the club's involved agree to the ruling?

Discuss

Yes
No
No Batley and Doncaster would say no. Batley fans esp have acted very poor throughout this IMO. Total RL is awash with them thinking they have done nothing wrong and the decision was correct.

The RFL are bottlers and are hoping this blows over. Great idea though and something which I think would be fair.
