According to Dave Craven Yorks Post Twitter both Bulldogs and Donny have got their three points back on appeal ....

Absolute joke, if true, but what do we expect from the RFL bosses?

Why have rules. If a team can break them and get away with it.



If this is the way the controlling body are going to carry on.



What is the point in carrying on.



One other thing to think about. If we do go down. How many people will be spending £17 to see a game?

The RFL website says the appeals were succeesful because other teams had got away with breaking the rules in the past so it wasn't right that Batley and Dewsbury couldn't get away with it as well. I actually feel physically sick about this.

So do I. I can't believe it. So if we lose at Dewsbury and the Dogs win their game, we'll be looking for Doncaster to beat Batley in their last match. Have I read that right?

.

How many more times are we going to get kicked in the teeth?

This is the result of DR chaos, and what went before by other teams last season. Our last minute victory at your place is where you blew it not in Red hall.

So because the RFL didnt punish teams of cheating in the past. They cant punish teams now for cheating.



I really do hope someone from the Kly club are going to ask for the person responsible within the RFL for this to be sacked.

Rubbish Ghost. Batley cheated and got away with it.



RL is currupt.

An Operational Rules Appeals Tribunal has granted the appeals by Batley Bulldogs and Doncaster against the points deductions imposed for breaches of the sport’s rules relating to dual registration.The clubs were each deducted three competition points at an independent tribunal held on Friday August 15 when they were both found guilty of fielding an ineligible player in Kingstone Press Championship fixtures played on Sunday July 27.After being presented with fresh evidence relating to previous historical breaches of Operational Rules by other clubs which had not faced similar sanctions, the Appeals Tribunal sitting at Red Hall this afternoon overturned the points deductions.

If its true that north wales crusadors fielded an ineligible player when we played them last week, Cougars should require the RFL to order a re-match.

You are talking utter bo**ocks, I'm very disappointed in the way you see things! I expected better from a Batley fan, who are usually held in such high regard within the RFL family





From what I can see Batley, Doncaster, Whitehaven and York are the cheating culprits regardless of which season it relates to. But, it is more than likely that the Cougars (who have abided by the rules) will be the team that will disappointingly be relegated and not the other teams that have cheated. Does it mean that the RFL in effect can never have a rule regarding this type of breach as teams will always be able to just relate back to the cheating teams of old in order to get off scot free!



A cheat is a cheat at the end of the day - this completely destroys the whole definition of sportsmanship.



Come on Cougars, let's ram it back down the throats of those numpty's at Red Hall who pretend to be in charge !!!

What a load of absolute Horse Sh* t.



The RFL couldn't get us relegated by Banning Marchy for months ,

But they could have found a way by doing this.



Think outside the box ........ the RFL don't want us anywhere

Near Superleague in whatever guise they are whoreing it as.



CORRUPT , nothing else.

Cougars and other affected clubs should appeal against this laughable appeals panel decision, proper lawyers would have an absolute field day it's such a joke. Luis Suarez got somewhere by going to the court of arbitration for sport www.tas-cas.org/en/20questions.a ... 10-13-0-0/

What a disgrace to the game. DR had ruined the league, every team that abuses the system ends up being in the doldrums.



To be honest ghost of piggys mate, Batley are still going down. Nothing less than you deserve.



We will beat dewsbury as we already convincingly have this season.
