Bradford get 3 wins and it scarcely makes any difference whatsoever to them. A points deduction at this stage is not a fitting punishment. Can't say I understand why Crusaders ended up with a smaller punishment than Bradford considering they ended up being liquidated.

Just out of interest, how do you propose the RFL punish a club which doesn't exist?
Crusaders were docked points for them going into administration in Nov 2010 not for them eventually folding. As had been mentioned loads and loads of times it's because Crusaders and Wakefield took on part of the debt.

You probably don't know that because you're ignoring the reason given. That being that both Crusaders and Wakefield were in a position to clear at least some of the previous debts. Bradford are currently without the financial structure to do that so have been given the maximum penalty.
