Is this the same RFL Compliance who,to much acclaim,dealt with Mark Aston,before the Independent Panel? What if,and it appears possible,Salford cannot afford legal representation for an appeal should the RFL reject certain evidence? As per Mark Aston...

It is bad. All done for the benefit of Super League clubs. The one week loan system is even worse. I take it the Ben Darwin Team Work Index/ Team Work Cohesion for success is now old hat as the sport of rugby league alters rules,regulations and processes as often as the weather changes. Professional sport?

Well,no lack of urgency by the governing body to ensure no repeat of head on a stake gate When asked about what changes have been made to help prevent a situation happening like this again, it was addressed that several changes have been implemented following the incident. This was after the club agreed to an ‘agreed decision’ with the RFL, which we’re still waiting to hear back on. This meant new things had to be put in place to prevent this happening again. This included improved medical protocols, digital record-sharing between doctors and medical staff with shared calendars and increased visibility to player welfare, and reallocation of medical oversight to avoid conflicts with coaching duties.

Someone on Devil Talk made a post about the assets of the ownership group being frozen. Possible? Made their ownership announcement in February? If the debts,at that point,we're transferred into their name,it could be possible.I suppose. https://www.begbies-traynorgroup.com/articles/insolvency/understanding-freezing-orders-for-company-directors I haven't really followed it,and I try to avoid debt,wealthy people,and professional sport where the 'lifeblood' of the sport are ignored. Hope it helps...

If the RFL don't hurry up they may miss the opportunity to make an example of Salford,as they did with Mark Aston,and bring about a huge fine for the illegal approach for a player at a supporters run club from a lower league. A missed opportunity to get some money in the coffers.

Omitted ClubCall.It started but didn't last very long. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/10679331.warrington-wolves-face-toughest-ever-clubcall-says-rfl-chief-executive-nigel-wood/

I am waiting for the Super League club which breached the protocols and played a player who should not have played,to be named,and I will see if that club,and the individuals involved,are given the same opprobrium as Mark Aston has endured for such a lengthy period of time.

Upsetting news. Heartened by the variety of people who have expressed condolences. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GHNGbZjv2/

The new governing body will take immediate action,unlike the rabble who were removed. They won't allow the sport to look all amateur and unprofessional.

Seems the players agent on the Podcast of journalist Mr Shaw who mediated between the governing body/Sports Resolutions/Mark Aston is also firmly on the side of Mark Aston. I hope the governing body is consequently involving itself with the welfare of Mark Aston. Could be the other side of the evidence will be forthcoming. Interesting times...

Of course not. But I think he may know more back story than the one sided report published.

Rugby League followers complaining about mainstream media not reporting about a matter disclosed by a journalist deemed to be unreadable and unreliable. Worse than some club owners and the governing body. The mainstream media have had years to comment about IMG. Just give this nonsense a little more time. I think I am supposed to believe The Ashes series will save the sport...

From an individual who has put more money into the sport than the equivalent cost of a few academy coaches. https://x.com/IanSwire/status/1935069355798130926
