Well, that was made to look b*llocks pretty quick, bad luck returns.

Kind of makes a mockery of us last season busting a gut fulfilling fixtures with multiple players stepped down through track and trace and injuries when on a few ocassions we could likely have postponed.

As I've always said (from now on), honesty doesn't pay.

Thi. Nk I would prefer vfor the club to go through the season knowing they have done things correctly. Honesty doesn't always work in your favour but at least your own minds at rest.
Cas have a final to play and no one will convince me they have not taken the decision to not play in to account.
SALFORD have almost certainly used the rules to there own advantage.
The outcome of course works against clubs trying to do the right thing

Certainly hasn't for us. It's admirable that MC and CC have played fair in the past but it hasn't done us any favours.
Time we joined the rest in playing the system IMO.

The problem is they would ping us, Salford still just about have that ‘new stadium’ shield that seems to protect other clubs.

We didn’t need to play last season it was our choice but fortunately without relegation it had little impact. I guess by playing the games we received additional funds from Sky who didn’t need to switch coverage.

No I doubt Chester had much influence on these games because the results during this period last season caused if a lot of difficulties for him. If you want to blame him that is up to you but I think you are being a little over critical.

The game had to play and fulfill its TV contract or get penalised. Wakefield suffered as bad as anyone if not more especially with isolating players. As an example I believe Pitts had to self isolate 5 times due to contacts he missed a load of games and never tested positive some of these withdrawals were at short notice causing disruption. For the greater good of the game the show had to go on as a club we paid more than our part.
