It isn't even a particular exceptional exception - other clubs have (I'm thinking of one in particular here ) and in a couple of cases still maybe do (Catalans? Celtic?) play(ed) 'outside of the rules'.
Good post, I'm just saying you're playing outside the rules of the league that's all

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

I will have to take your word for that, you are well-qualified to comment. However, surely if we are outside of the competition rules, then said authorities will be taking steps to punish us or bring us back into line?
As a supporter of Hull FC (punished in 2008 for breaking competition rules) and L**ds Utd (punished in 2007 for breaking competition rules) I'm sure you are an authority on the subject.

Sorry meant to say they have more than everyone is allowed in other words more than the rules allow.

If rules are broken penalties are usually imposed.
Being as this has not happened in Rovers case, then it is clear that ALL their players are playing 'within the rules'.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.
