Who else thinks St Helens should of had points took ?

Question

Doesn't seem fair that the other teams have points took off and they just get a fine when they've done the same thing .

Answer 1

Not me.

You're asking the Saints management to possess the ability to foretell the insertion of a mid-season international and assume that young players would be selected thus triggering bonus payments for a match that they couldn't have prepared for.

It's bogus to fine them 1p let alone £22k.

Not even god can predict what the RFL will do next, how do you expect a mere mortal to?

Answer 2

Down the pie eaters ! cheats ! Castleford should be back in Super League !!

Answer 3

Why what did they do Hotlegs.  of course they should and give them to the Leeds Rhinos.

Answer 4

as a saints fan i do agree with you.

Answer 5

Maybe they should have been docked points but following the joke penalty given to Wigan both Saints and Bradford should appeal as there transgressions are a minor blip compared to Wigan.

What will Wigan be punished with next year when they are yet again way over the salary cap?

Answer 6

me, probs cos theyre champs

Answer 7

i follow st helens but if they were proved to have brokn the salary cap, even by as much as one pence then  they should be docked points. what,s good for the goose is good for the gander as they say.

Answer 8

i know it is so bs.

Answer 9

Apparently the Saints issue of overspending on their budget was down to bonuses for 2 england players , where as Wigan went 6% over (if you think 6% is a small amount that is 222k hardly an accident) and Bradford 4% so Wigan lost 4 pts , Bradford 2 pts and Saints fined 22k seems fair enough to me sorry.

Answer 10

They didnt go over the cap as much as other clubs did.

Wigan went over by 200k which is a lot of money.
