On watching both the Martin and Horne incidents, i'm struggling to see how there is 6 games of ban worth of difference between the 2 incidents. Martin clearly pulls the shirt up on a downed player and so does Horne. I get the need for and support a zero-tolerance stance on things even if a player isn't actually injured, but I would be pretty angry if I was a Cas fan when you see a very similar incident go unpunished in the same evening's tribunal. Personally, I just want to see referees given the power to stop teams taking the mick when it comes to time wasting. Wigan* really pushed the limits on it last weekend with some tackles taking around 10 seconds to get a play the ball and the referee having to ask the player to play the ball multiple times. There doesn't seem to be any directive where referees can actually punish this within the rules. *Every team does it, I'm just using it as an example

Salford financial issues(again…)

Yeah it all makes no sense to me. Looking at typical bridging loan rates online, it’s at least 0.75% of the loan value per month, with 2% of the loan value as set up fee plus legal costs etc. if they’re taking out a £1-2M loan those fees will be massive. Then even if the investors are just going to clear that debt, why not just clear the initial debts for less money? Even a completely debt free SRD isn’t going to suddenly be ok, the crowds, central funding or commercial deals just aren’t anywhere near close enough to be self sustaining or they wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. -

I don't think there can be any argument it wouldn't have been better as we now know there have been multiple loans taken out to pay players which would have been avoided. We can argue whether it would have been good enough but" better" is out of the question. Less debt to service is always better in this scenario. -

Well the club is situated on the other side of a bridge to a whole lot of excrement at the waste treatment plant. It’s almost poetic. -

Paul King must have a massive house for the collateral on that one -

He didn't pull out on the morning of the game, it was the day before at captains run -
I feel like you'd be better served with Lolohea and Rush in the halves rather than going back to Frawley
