pending investigation into disclosures we have received under our Public Interest Disclosure Policy

Disclosures by Hicks himself, or by others?    He covers a lot in that role, so I'll be interested to see what this is all about.   Still, you get stood down for all sorts of reasons these days.   Maybe he swore in the presence of that Amanda Abbington lady.

Indeed. Could be something, could be nothing - but it would have to be *credible* for a suspension to occur.

Hopefully back at his desk in a few  days.

I predict a storm in a tea cup.

If they want to do something useful,how about permanently suspending the RL Council and then  divi up the money saved to League 1 clubs around 80K each:

Does the Council really cost that much? I'd genuinely struggle to understand the mechanics of how it can do

Re: the original story, my initial thought was "does this relate to the botched Mark Aston case?", it seemed that the RFL hadn't approached that investigation professionally at the time.

It certainly does retainers expenses freebies etc.

It's a scandal and how much money do they bring to the game a big fat ZERO:(

The RFL Council

The RFL Council is made up of the professional clubs and representatives of the Community Game.

The RFL Council is made up of all UK based professional clubs and 7 representatives of the Community Game (British Amateur Rugby League Association (BARLA); Combined Services Rugby League and representatives from Education rugby league settings; Higher Education rugby league settings; Tier Four Leagues; Tier Five and Tier Six Adult Leagues; and Tier Five Youth and Junior Leagues).

Each Member is entitled to attend and vote at all meetings of the Council and, in the case of Clubs, share in the profits of the RFL or any distribution of its funds and participate in RFL competitions.

Council Meetings must be held at least twice a year, with the Annual Council Meeting approving the accounts of the RFL, appointing/approving auditors and electing a Vice President and President.  Changes to the Articles of Association of the RFL can only be made upon a Special Resolution approved by 75% of voting Members.

The Articles contain provisions such that, irrespective of the number of Clubs in the Super League, the Championship and League 1, the votes of the Super League Clubs (on the one hand) and the votes of the Championship and League 1 Clubs (on the other hand) carry equal weight. In addition, any resolution must be passed by at least 4 Super League Members and at least 4 Championship or League 1 Members.

There do seem to be some journalists who find out the details of disciplinary cases before anyone else, but don't know where they'd get those from.
