You explain why Broncos failing to fulfill a fixture is treated differently from Cas & Huddersfield being found guilty of failing to fulfill a fixture has been?

At the time broncos did not have any or enough players effected by covid to cause a cancellation of the game. They just refused to travel, actually I suspect it was a deliberate decision to take a 24-0 defeat as opposed to any possible covid issues related to travel, and saving 40 or 50k on travel costs.
Cas and Hudds as far as I am aware broke protocols, the fact it possibly resulted in covid positives is actually different
Should they have been punished otherwise as in points deducted maybe.
But situations were different.
We knew the rules, we gambled I reckon, and got bitten

Cas and Huddersfield had no effect on us though which is probably the most important thing

The RFL said that Cas & Huddersfield failed to fulfill a fixture & that the RFL had not sanctioned the cancellation. That is clear & it really doesn't matter that Broncos failed to travel as Cas & Huddersfield would also have failed to travel too. It is the same & should be punished the same. The fact that Broncos have been treated differently both by being asked to be the only team to travel to Toulouse & by being the only team that failed to fulfill a fixture to be penalised points shows the sport is poorly managed. Some might even suggest in its broadest sense corrupt.

There was a difference though, cas failed to fulfill the fixture as they could not raise a team citing a number of reasons
We had a squad, we refused to travel, using unwillingness to isolate on return as reason.

You know what? I can't be bothered to check the small print in RL Regulations but you cannot deny that the RFL ruled on the offence. They were guilty as charged. If they couldn't find 17 players they should have conceded the game. Not attempting to play the game (in this country) is no different from us not going to a foreign country to play. The offence is the same, the mitigation may be different. Sorry you can't seem to grasp that but never mind. The RFL have handled the whole pandemic appallingly badly compared to Football, Cricket & Union.

In terms of the play offs.....I kind of wish we were due to play Toulouse in Toulouse and take the 24-0 loss and fine rather than what Halifax are going to do to us.

If Haven win their last 2 then we won't make the playoffs (we are not going to beat Fev or York based on yesterdays performance)

York of course have 2 weeks to prepare for us as they are not going to Toulouse.

Bear with me here. You go for the play offs to play off for a place in Super League. You can’t be a part time team in Super League. A week/ two weeks before play off places are finally decided Broncos announce they are going part time. Not a vote of confidence in the players is it. I wonder how those coming back from injury feel- worth going the extra mile. Timing of our announcements is crazy.

I'm pretty sure the players would have k own about this for a while. I expect it played a part in Ward leaving
