Wigan salary cap breach

Post by Nobody » 30 Jan 2019, 13:11

2 points deducted for 2019 season. Absolute joke of a punishment.

They have a right to appeal

I know this is the RFL but as this is not their first offence, you'd think they'd be dealt a more severe blow.

£14,000 worth of agent payments which never got added to the salary cap in 2017, Wigan claimed they shouldn't be on the salary cap but have since agreed they should have been.

Apparently they're appealing the decision. Hope there given more of a deduction but knowing Wigan they'll win the appeal and be given a 2 point head start on everyone else. :-$

Wigan claimed that the agent worked for them and so the payments shouldn’t count, but this was proven otherwise.

Just what I like to see, Wigan already 4 points behind anyone who wins this weekend :dance:

Should be more than 4 though to be honest.

over on the wigan board they're blaming any one but themselves. mainly the rfl. however i watched tonights game with a mixed bunch of league fans from several different clubs and not one had any sympathy for the pies. it must be hard being a wigan fan just now but they have to see beyond the cherry and white tinted glasses and realise the reason every one hates them is because of their constant cheating both on and off the field.

And now Edwards makes a statement where he appears to be saying he's not certain to be coaching Wigan when lam leaves not looking so good for pies now wane gone as a few predicted might be the case ...

If Edwards doesn't go to Wigan they will announce Lam is staying and make out it was there choice.

How many breaches constitutes cheating. It is a regular occurance but is just brushed under the carpet. The sport is a laughing stock. They lied to break the live cap.

Shame on you rfl.

Totally predictable. Any other club, and it would have been at least 12 points and no appeal allowed.

Got poor Widnes with -12 because of greedy people running the club and then there's pie eaters cheating year after year.

What a joke, pays to be a cheat then?
