I think they are just relieved that you didn't hold on for the last two minutes. I look forward to your swift return

Well Batleys play off game has not been postponed so I guess nothing has happened re the appeal

Play-offs are pretty much irrelevant.



Either Cougars get reinstated in the Championship or get at least the £75k compensation mentioned by Dreamer if they have to play in League 1.



Think the Cougar directors need to politely request a meeting with Brian Barwick/Nigel Wood (without lawyers) to see what can be agreed.

On the petition website the latest news suggests that Sheffield Eagles have thrown their lot in with us and will share costs if an appeal is made to the High Court. Anyone else heard that? Haven should join in too.

Cougarmania have confirmed this on Facebook

So what happens if whilst all this is going on, Batley end up winning the playoffs?? Can't see rfl doing what NRL did to Melbourne for salary cap breaches and revoking their titles, the don't have the integrity to do so.

I have seen sight of information(the validity I don't know) that suggests you cannot contest the decision of the tribunal and this is a agreement by all clubs. This is what I have seen so like I say not sure how true this is, but with that in mind Batley are not going to be relegated I'm pretty sure of that. The play offs will continue. I think the only thing that could happen now is the Cougars reinstated (unlikely) or they get comp. I have also seen sight of something that suggests any legal action against the RFL places the clubs RFL membership in jeopardy so not sure what affect this will have.



Genuinely, for a day or two, I actually believed this would be resolved by the RFL pretty quickly without the need for legal action and that common sense would prevail. Sadly, I then hit myself very hard for being such an idiot realising that we are not dealing with an organisation that possesses common sense. I am aghast it's dragged on this long and assume the RFL are digging their heals in. I'm pleased we have been told we have a strong case, but then I've never heard a solicitor say anyone has a weak case! I support the club in having a pop at this, but as this drags on I can only think we will get comp at very best. Hope I'm wrong, but it would be nice resolved one way or another to avoid an unnecessary loss of players.
