It has to be the correct decision however, how are the Warrington lads supposed to prepare? The farcical part of the decision is to play the tie this weekend!

Maybe they were aware earlier in the week that there was an issue with the Wigan interchange and have been in full training awaiting the RFL to make a decision?

If they haven`t been training, then I agree that playing the Final this weekend, is a farce.

Easy mistake to make..must of counted on both hands

Just heaping more misery on the sport.

Burtonwood?

Sally. Without wanting to start a argument within the forum.
How would you of handled it.
The RFL have done what they've done. What would you have preferred. Give the saints academy the cup by default?

All season the academy has run with unlimited interchanges. What other sport decides to change the rules for the last two games? How was it communicated that the interchange rule was to be changed?

There was no 4th official present at the semi-final, and it was a tremendous competitive game.
Yes it was Wigans fault and I feel sorry for those young players, for a few it would have been their last game at academy level.
Good luck in the final.

I was led to believe that it’s not true that it has run with unlimited subs all season, it has been 8 all season.

Not for Wigan though, they've had unlimited. Maybe they've been like an American football squad on the sidelines all season.

But the rules changed for both clubs, so how did Warrington manage to conform at such short notice and the greatest academy in the world didn't?
