In some ways a part of me thinks 'Finally! its going to be out in the open at just how poorly some aspects of our club are being run'

Michael Steele has a hell of a job to sort this mess out, its clear his footballing management HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE.

Even if they RFL slap our wrists, we should have known, should have ok'd it, should have told them, it should never have come to this, what an absolute joke...

:WAVE: Superleague bid

The SL bid was a waste of time and money anyway. The bigger worry is that the club is clearly being run by incompetents at all levels. We won't even be a Championship side soon if the slide isn't halted quickly

Surely the RFL have to take some blame here as well. They should have spotted this sooner.

Are you suggesting the referee who the teamsheet was submitted to should have spotted it???

I am sure you are right that it should have been spotted earlier and very definitely not just before the next round is about to be played, but the outcome for Fax will be the same - expelled from the Cup.

The level of fine and whether or not Swinton take Fax's place, are another matter (which I agree should have been done very quickly).

Liable? What do you mean?

Re: BATLEY GAME IS OFF : Sun May 09, 2010 12:14 pm  

Would it be up to them to pay up? Silly question maybe, but might explain a couple of recent departures.

I think there should be some monitoring over who is playing. With the Hull FC debacle with Thackeray I would have thought that the RFL would have been monitoring this pro-actively. Not awaiting internet forum users to email the RFL...

Aren't team sheets supposed to be submitted to the RFL before the fixture takes place?

Teamsheets are submitted to the ref before the game, who sends them off afterwards.

I agree that at a subsequent point, the RFL should have spotted this, but it would retrospective and changes nothing.

The onus and responsibility is 100% on the club to ensure players are eligible.
