Going to get battered here but to be fair to Batley n Donny can see what happened and have some sympathy and a thought that we could have been in the same boat....

Both teams like us have minimal full time staff , if it had been Jeremy for us, would despite his 25 years service on little pay been vilified for screwing up , Paul Harrison is in the same boat at Batley....

Holding people to account who have worked for their club for years is pretty poor ,,,,if we want to stay up on on that premise..see u inn CC1 next year ..

The argument should be with those at the RFL and their mates not then clubs who are working their arses off to stay within a set of ever changing obscure n frankly convoluted rules that only seem to favor Super League and the clubs in there

So, was a 'precedent' set or not?

Not in the case of York or Whitehaven but what about the others?

How did Batley know about the other three Clubs that were guilty of breaching the Rules?

We can not have rule breaks go unpunished at any level of rugby league IMO. We have to be perfessional at all times and examples hafe to be set. We all know its a honest mistake but its still a rule break. There is no point turning up every week if we do not follow the rules of the game.

In football this was dealt with straight away and the team kick out, in rugby we have 2 meetings and 1 wrong outcome and it takes weeks!!!!

If this happened at Keighley I would not have had a different mindset. No matter which way you look at it both Donny and Batley have cheated and got away with it. Imagine if it had been possible as a result of both clubs getting points back Donny finish 2nd and Batley stay up.

Rach is right and it seems the DR rules are so complicated that even now they are not clear. How about if all points scored by DR players in games after the deadline were removed? Red Hall should be red-faced at the way they have bungled this. The phrase 'Not fit for purpose' comes to mind.

Still very quiet - I haven't heard anything at all. I hope the club are busy preparing something with which to hit the RFL should the unthinkable happen next Sunday.

The phrases in my mind are much less polite.

I doubt it , our glorious leader will be counting the money he made from letting people
CAMP ON THE PITCH that were attending the Bingley Festival.
I presume that's why he was not at such an important match yesterday.
I also presume there was a risk assesment drawn up for clearing the pitch and making sure
It is safe to play on next weekend (disgarded tentpegs coins sharp objects etc ec )
Taxi for March.

Another idea - how about banning all DR players for the last game of the season to even things up? To me the RFL have compounded one monumental cock-up with a worse one. The case should have been: did the inclusion of DR players illegally played in 2013 by Whitehaven, Workington, Gateshead, Hunslet and Leigh affect the outcome of relegation? Has the inclusion of illegal DR players in 2014 affected relegation - most likely yes! On those grounds action SHOULD have been taken against those clubs. As Kevin Nicholas says in today's League Express, "We were not aware of the rule, we've always said that, and in that respect it's our fault." I rest my case M'lud!

Blimey, Burley, the club shows a bit of initiative and then gets damned for it. Who'd be a chairman. Not you thats for sure!

Bit unfair that Burley , both the camping ventures Bingley Live and Tour De France have been pretty successful and have brought in money to the club through camp fees, bar takings and food sales .

And yes Gary wasn't at the game yesterday as he was driving the shuttle bus to and from the Festival site for the campers, something he's been doing all weekend ....
