The club also face a nine-point deduction which, if applied immediately, would result in relegation to Championship 1 for 2010.


Reading between the lines, it looks like Gateshead will go down, replaced or not.

Not 100% on this one but the season might be officially over already. Didnt players contracts used to run to the end of October in which case they will have until Saturday. Cutting it a bit fine.

Leigh were easily the worst side to play Raiders last season.

at Barrow yes, DEFINITELY.
BUT AT Leigh, you were 16-2 down at half time, a decent side would have put 40 past you. 2nd half was more typical of the season (24-0) but if you were there (you actually brought 2 coach loads) you would have seen your worst 40 minutes of the season.

This therefore means that the "offence" of going into Administration/Liquidation occurred in the 2009 season and as such any penalty should be applied to the teams points for that season as per RFL statement after the Wigan salary cap scenario's.

However this would rely upon the RFL being consistent in its governance of the game!

So what happened in the Widnes case a couple of years ago when straight after the play off defeat to Cas they went into Administration? Their points deduction was the Season after wasn't it?

Or did the RFL "Wigan Salary Cap Statement" also cover different offences such as Administration?
