you will soon have a cas fan on saying "show us evidence of this" and "we were warned over a administrative error"
And still, we await any one of your wonderful users to provide us with this
ok then...................
official press release from last year........................
<cough cough>
AND I QUOTE............
"SUPER League giants Wigan Warriors last night moved a step closer to
relegation to NL1 after they were docked two points and fined
?50,000 for breaching the salary cap in 2005.
But Castleford Tigers escaped with a warning from the RFL after also
breaching the ?400,000 cap in League One last year, when they earned
promotion to Super League after beating Whitehaven in the Grand
Final.
Wigan's two-point deduction means they now sit joint bottom of Super
League on 14 points, with French side Catalans Dragons, who are
exempt from relegation, and Wakefield.
Haven coach Dave Rotheram said today: "I feel sorry for the Wigan
players and coaches, who have worked so hard over recent weeks.
"They have been docked points over something that happened last
year, so I feel for them."
The RFL have indicated that the Recre is not up to Super League
standard and that Haven will not be promoted even if they win this
season's Grand Final, prompting the club to consider legal action if
they win October's showpiece.
Warriors chairman Maurice Lindsay said: "We have accepted the
findings of the RFL independent panel to which we pleaded guilty.
"It was a difficult season savaged by injury but in accepting the
findings of the panel we must now re-double our efforts and put
everything we have got into the remaining five games of the season."
Wigan revealed they overspent by ?80,000, which represented 52.3% of
income as opposed to an allowable 50%. Any breach between 52 and 55%
triggers a two-point deduction.
Cas said they "marginally" overspent on the cap last term, chief
executive Richard Wright adding: "Every effort is made by the club
to keep within the cap and last year was no exception."Each year the club spends as much as it can within the limit of the
cap but we are always going to be close to the line. I believe that
the RFL realised that there was no intention on our part to breach
the rules."
The Tigers and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats were found guilty of a
breach of salary cap regulations and cautioned by formal written
warning.
The clubs were also ordered to pay the costs of the investigation."
take that as you will but i reckon its the proof you wanted
