Can anyone else see the flaw in the 12 points for going into Admin?

A team who is destined to be in the bottom 4 of SL (let's use Wakefield as completely random example ) has financial issues. They go into Admin one game from the end of the regular season, and lose 12 points.

But it doesn't matter a jot if they were going to finish in the bottom four anyway, because the slate gets wiped clean for the Super 8, and they'll still have their full salary cap and SL players.

Any team with financial problems can use this device to clear their debts whilst remaining in SL

It's no different to now. Your previous administrations didn't result in any real penalty. It's arguable that this year's penalty was more to do with losing your players for lack of cash rather than the points deduction; you got four back from us quite easily.

What about writing a letter?

That's actually pretty much spot on, imo.

It wasn't the six points which did us but the loss of half our competition money. Despite OK's daft assertions that it didn't matter and how he would carry on anyway, the amount of money forfeited was more than the amount owed. Without that second period in admin and with that money we would have kept Scruton, Carvell and Sammutt and quite possibly Bateman and Whitehead too along with some of the juniors who have jumped ship. I'm sure some may argue the point, but in my mind there is no way that team would have been languishing in the bottom two, six points or no.

Solly also said the dual reg will need looking at and we may end up with a sort of "cup tied" situation for players.
They should simply set a cut off date for sending players out or loaning them in. After say, June 1st, all players stay put. SL clubs would need to decide to bring them back in case they need them. If they don't bring them back they stay with the championship club till the end of the season. It would stop the 1 month or possible 7 game loans. I would even include overseas loan players like London did with that half back two years ago. Get them in before June 1st or it's too late.
