St Helens breached the salary cap in 2006 by 0.8% and were fined.
The punishment handed out takes into account all aspects of each case (including co-operation with the investigation, admission of guilt, previous offences, effect on the competition, degree of fault - intention to cheat, lack of remorse) and can range from a caution, a fine, deduction of (up to 20) points, restriction on registering new players to being thrown out of a competition (club) or a suspension from the sport (individual).
I think it's fair to say that Wigan won't have got many pluses in their favour on aggravating factors.
