Do you think the RFL have yet had enough time to investigate this incident, James?
I'm sure there is a process - they will be asking for statements off multiple people across both clubs, then they'll be waiting for responses and/or arranging face-to-face calls. Then clubs would need to be notified / given chance to appeal. I doubt there'll be anything public about it until the investigation is complete, but it is ongoing.
I don't think there's any evidence on the video footage to suggest the injuries Widnes players suffered on the day were deliberately inflicted by Swinton players, but that doesn't excuse the 'tip sheet' image.
I'm not too fussed about the injuries, they happen, including running at injured people that even happens in kids games. But the noose thing, very very poor taste especially for a sport that prides itself on mental health blah blah blah. Glad to see Swinton got snorted again today, hopefully they go down. Meanwhile we've taken their coach and best players. Up the Vikings.
I see Ant Walker was not playing for Swinton today.
It's well over 3 weeks now since the RFL started to investigate.
Perhaps people will forget the longer they leave it, maybe summer holidays are slowing things down, or possibly another excuse?
Seems to be shrouded in secrecy.I've asked both James and Mattew Shaw on Twitter and neither has responded.Perhaps the matter has been dealt with behind the scenes without any public announcement and with reporters asked not to comment on it.We can only surmise

Probably told not to comment on it mate. Either be swiped under the carpet or just a joke of a system taking its time.
The enquiry was taking place on the 9th October but still no news.
Apparently it’s been put back, no reason why. They’re probably hoping everyone will forget about it.
You could well be right!
However even the RFL ought to realise that the longer this drags on without any apparent reason the more those "not in the know" will assume some sort of conspiracy.
I assume the delay is because Swinton play Hunslet tomorrow to stay in the Championship. So the club can focus on that. I also assume because they have let Kilahaw stay on in charge all season it will be some kind of slap on the wrist.
Could Swintons involvement in the relegation play off also be the reason we haven't announced a signing or 2 to accompany the launch of next years season tickets? I hope we sign 1 or 2 players with a bit of class about them to take us to the next level and bring on the other players in the squad. Time will tell......
Swinton just got relegated, Hunslet in the Championship! Good game on the Sportsman.
A killer comeuppance for Swinton there… LOL
The rabble are relegated and ironically Hunslet was Kilshaw's former club.Happy days.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Karma’s a bitch eh Kilshaw?
