Big two in dock over salary breaches

14 April 2012

The Rugby Football League have confirmed that Wigan Warriors and Bradford Bulls have "cases to answer" relating to alleged breaches of the Super League salary cap last season.

Wigan are due to face the RFL's independent judiciary panel later on Monday, with Bradford's case to be heard at a later date.

Meanwhile, Hull FC, St Helens, Castleford and Wakefield have all been found guilty of minor breaches.

Hull and St Helens were fined £5,000 - a proportion of which has been suspended - and ordered to pay the costs of the investigation.

Castleford and Wakefield have been cautioned by a formal written warning and also ordered to pay costs.

All four clubs have a right to appeal the compliance commissioner's decision.
