From this paragraph, it would appear that only Tigers and Giants have forfeited league points, with Salford just received a fine,
Not sure how that works.


Separately, the RFL Board ruled that each club had effectively forfeited the game, and that their opponents be awarded the match and the competition points by a deemed score of 24-0.

Not quite the same as London whose 24-0 'loss' (for not playing against Toulouse) resulted in -2pts as opposed to 0pts for Cas and Huddersfield.....

I think the issue for Huddersfield was that they did not fulfil their fixture which was not under Covid protocols. They had some Covid cases but not enough to meet he Covid protocol they had a major injury crisis partly exacerbated by playing the mid season exiles fixture . If they did not have so many players called up for that who then got injured they would have been able to play .
they lost Sezer for the season.

Giants should have just withdrawn all their players from the fixture like some SL clubs did !

Good news. Hopefully this signals the RFL actually taking it seriously, which some clubs obviously haven't.

We all knew some clubs were taking the mick and now it's just been confirmed.

They are a disgrace.

hilarious saddened - i think youll find that only SOME clubs are accused of not taking it seriously - whilst others such as saints get away with it.
earlier in the season huddersfield were willing to play Hull by playing academy players who had no game, even though they met the covid cancellation criteria - the RFL refused to allow that. later on circumstances were different with the academy having had a game .
I think its more sad that RFL taking it seriously means that any concerns the club had re player welfare were ignored........ perhaps the time we cancelled we should have just forced our academy players to back up playing several games in a few days eh.....

also strange how castleford were cited for breaching covid protocols on the coach from wembley - yet saints players posted pictures of them jumping all over each other on theirs - where were the covid protocols then???? and i wonder why there was then an outbreak at saints....
