Dewsbury saved. Glad Des Johnson has been banned. Terrible for the game this man has been.

New official table then would look like this:

F'stone 20 18 1 1 840 348 492 0 56
Leigh 20 18 1 1 776 368 408 0 53
Batley 20 12 0 8 498 406 92 5 41
Sheffield 20 12 0 8 577 488 89 3 39
Widnes 20 11 1 8 555 532 23 3 38
Halifax 20 10 0 10 569 543 26 6 36
Hunslet 20 4 1 15 395 630 -235 6 20
York 20 5 1 14 416 788 -372 2 19
Dewsbury 20 4 1 15 413 618 -205 4 18
Toulouse 20 4 0 16 358 663 -305 3 15
Barrow 20 9 0 11 527 540 -13 8 0

Must have been one heck of a technical breach this one!

8 year ban!! Wow, did he snort coke off the grooves on the Championship trophy? That's a helluva sentence. They did become a really good side - I feel sorry for the Barrow fans.

Strange though isn't it Rich , this is the second time a club has risen rapidly through the leagues only to be found to have been ' Cheating ' , we all knew about both clubs , the RFL however seem to prefer to ignore what is plainly in front of them , as long as the club doing it has some ' value ' to them , ie a potential expansion club for SL

And yes I know Leigh were punished for ' Cheating ' as well , but as they say , the punishment fits the crime , ours was relatively minor and not deliberate

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

If you have evidence of another club persistently circumventing the SC over a number of years, then I think the phrase is: put up or shut up.

Doubt everything, even this

Is that the heavist penalty impose on a club without actually expelling them imposed by the RFL?

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.
