Anyone know when the points appeal is ?

4th of July

Just seen it in League express. thanks Solly

I would have thought that the club should have been notified of the date before the press,or is that being a little picky?

No I would have thought it was common courtesy to tell the club first

`That hearing will take place in Manchester on Wednesday, July 6, and Koukash will take the lead on behalf of his club.`

Maybe the League Express is now running the R F L .

Well that fill me with confidence, the guy is too close & is to emotional to front his case. Needs to be presented in a professional & clinical way, I bet the RFL are rubbing there hands.

Could it be that his legal team WONT represent him as they don't think he has a case to appeal? Resulting in Marwan fronting it himself

Its an appeal.He has to take something to the table that contradicts the original decision.He either has the proof or doesn't,theres no case to be presented,thats already done and dusted.

I didn't think that was the case. I thought the appeal is based on the fact that Marwan thought that the RFL were being unreasonable in their judgement and unduly harsh in their punishment. That he didn't think the original independent body was truly independent. This appeal is in front of an independent body that he selected to see whether they believe the RFL have been unfair.

From what I can remember of the press conference, MK didn't deny that the club went over the cap, but he said it was the RFL fault for not de-registering one player in time to register Locke. And he disputed the amount we went over by.

Two dates are mentioned on here and elsewhere - is there any confirmation as to whether it's the 4th or 6th?

Is the date for when the hearing is held or when the panel's decision is announced. Or are both on the same day.

If the hearing for the points deduction is today, does anyone know the time of it

points hearing is Wednesday EW

Super League - Every second counts

Would make it much more interesting if Salford are given the 6 points back

Yea lets give the cheats their points back.
Koucash admitted live on sky to making extra payments on the side.........
Should deduct 4 more points.

Did you not listen? He said we were `not a single penny over the cap for one single minute` - including the extra payments.

Little worried in 8th place tigerman?

Consistency is all we ask for, something the RFL have been unable or willing to do?

If you want to see worried and mild hysteria casoforum is a good read.

Ok, please do tell he forum the complete facts of this case as you seem to know a heck of alot judging by your rather silly rant. You clearly know zero about what's happened so until they release the details then try contain your hatred towards our great club.

It feels like the Rangi Chase/work permit/legal eagles discussion all over again.

Various Castleford scaffolders, fishmongers, and professional layabouts donning their wigs and dribbling their vast knowledge of everything law related around a subject they've mainly constructed in their own heads rather than find out the facts. It's like a sociology study piece in conspiracy and stupidity.

Not I, though.
The decision making process within the RFL is a dark and murky hidden world of reasoning.
Koukash says Salford didn't exceed the cap. The RFL says they did. Neither are exactly reliable fonts of honesty and clarity.
My view is that it would seem odd to make payments to players through third party companies unless the intention was to hide the payments for some reason. If they kept within the cap, why not just pay them normally?
