8 point deduction recommended for Rowley's opening round embarrassment antics.
What a pointless exercise

I don't know who is keeping Salford going, or how, but I'm pretty sure that they will complete their fixtures this season. It would be too embarrassing to the sport if they didn't. Maybe the financial implications of them folding mid season outweigh the alternative? I don't know? I'm just enjoying the drama.
If they fold mid season sky could cut the funding

I'm not sure the bridging loan is the key here.
If it were the case that the bridging loan solved the immediate issues, and it was due imminently, why would the winding-up be adjourned until September?
HMRC would surely prefer payment once these funds have landed.
It’s been pushed back as they haven’t got the money yet, they have seen “proof” but until the money is there they will meet again in September

RL Cares shouldn’t be bagged for any of this. The club are the problem. If they can’t pay the players then release them.
I don’t think any of the player are blaming them ? Rather just pointing out there lying which is just poor on there part

There's no suggestion at this stage that will happen with Radley - obviously a developing situation that a lot are speculating about but very unlikely to be this season if it does happen.
Absolute no to Iro and I'm confident Wane will agree. Just because he might qualify because he was born here, same as Sam Walker, he is no way shape or form English.
Not saying we would pick him or he’d pick us but why no? Got as much right as anyone

I would think so. He's going well and I'm glad he's getting his career going now but I think his target should probably be next years World Cup. The lad has really worked on his conditioning and looks fitter and stronger than ever. Hopefully he can get another 18 months of experience under his belt and make a play for that squad.
I agree he’s only young and another 18 months he could really be something

Yeah might be a bit early for him. If he keeps up his form for the rest of the season he might be worth a chance though. He’s quite big too which is something that is needed at international level
I agree he’s a strong ball carrier and could be a great impact prop

Is Sam Eseh a potential bolter for the ashes? He’s having a good season and seems to be getting better
He’s been impressive and for me prop is one of our weakest positions. Although I wonder if it’s to early for Sam

Its a completely toxic situation.
All those, including agents who advised players to sign there, and especially the coach who persuaded players to sign/stay with the club should hang their head in shame.
Interesting take? The coach rowley wouldn’t know the exact details if anyone is to blame Paul king is up there
don’t forget rowley is also not getting paid

Did those players moaning fund and support a union that could have done all this for them?
Not sure they were moaning rather just saying what rl cares has said it’s true. Which is very poor from them

Nigel is keeping us waiting.
We won't get much out of him until after the Council meeting on 15 July, at which he is likely to become the RFL Chairman.
I do know that he's spent quite a bit of time recently in London speaking to Sky Sports about likely future broadcasting scenarios for Rugby League, while also marshalling the Super League club owners to accept they have a common interest in making their competition as attractive as possible for potential investors.
The clubs have the final say in how many teams comprise Super League and they seem to have moved en masse to wanting 14 as early as next season, although such a move isn't yet guaranteed. I believe that Nigel has been tasked with finding the money that will enable the clubs to maintain their current distribution levels, both for them and for any new clubs coming into the competition, and that won't include Catalans losing their share of the distribution.
And anyone who claims that the NRL won't make a move for Super League because of Nigel's appointment is talking nonsense.
They won’t want Nigel involved though will they.
the fan reaction alone shows how silly this move is

Aren't the players the ones that should be contacting RLCares if they want assistance rather than the other way around?
From what I’ve read it seems the players are only saying rl cares hasn’t done what they said they have

Going a little further, RL Cares won't have access to details of individual players - they offer their services to the players VIA the club.
It seems SRD haven't really made their players aware of the offer and support available.
I know one or 2 lads at Salford and they say rl cares haven’t been in contact at all hence nikorimas wife’s comments.
all a big mess really

Where has this "future funding" been for the last few years and why are we supposed to believe it will magically appear now? More shares for fans?
You’d like to think the loan company would of wanted more then a word especially from king

Total BS. Salford are a disgrace to the game and longer it goes on the more of a laughing stock it becomes.

So, see you same time next year for the final nail in the SRD coffin...
It is, apparently, the definition of insanity to keeping doing the same thing, but expecting a different outcome.
Who knows what will happen

You don't have 3k fans in SL, you'll have even fewer next year and yet even fewer away fans.
Also, whilst you think the council will make a profit on that number of attendees, where will SRD's income come from.
You haven't forgotten that the scenario you suggest, is the self-same situation that has contributed to where you are now?
Salford have averaged over 3k for the past few seasons. Although I agree that will drop in the champ and even less in league one.
and they won’t get much income

Of course it's a case of wait and see - this is a fans' forum, not BBC News.
Some revenue is indeed better than none, but to realise a revenue, income has to exceed expenditure.
I realise this is a difficult concept for anyone associated with SRD...but here we are.
Based of a crown of 3k the council would make profit on food and drink alone. Although I have my doubt the loyal 3 k would turn up every game especially if there’s no buzz or hope

If Salford do have to take a step back to the Championship or League 1 wouldn't it make sense to share Heywood Road with Swinton.It must be closer to Salford than Swinton.I remember years ago when Salford were relegated from the top division they were undefeated in the Championship and bounced straight back.State they are in i cant see that being repeated.
Simple answer is no

Things that should happen, but won't
And don't they have a pathway to fill out the squad?
Just throwing kids in isn’t the way

Personally just don’t think Dodd has done anything to prove he’s NRL level. Not like he’s destroying cup
hope he can improve

Their priority right now should definitely be to make more signings. If they keep spending money and put their fingers in their ears and repeat lalalalalalala over and over it will all go away.
I think they just meant signings to fill the squad out not top class players. First point of call is clear the debts after that that aim should be to invest in off field stuff to increase revenue and make sure we never end up in this spot again

I didn’t know that tbf, but even so I can’t imagine they’ll go anywhere, the interest isn’t there other than from the BBC, it would be almost impossible for a club to establish themselves in the shadow of Man Utd and Man City.
I live is Salford so I fully understand and agree but I can see the new owners wanting to replicate Wrexham

Salford City are a dead duck, a vanity project that’s captured the media’s attention but not fans. They were the second worst supported of all the 92 clubs last year and a move to the AJB would finish them off as they’d have the same access issues as SRD.
They have just been bought out by a very wealthy American group although I’d agree with you
Salford financial issues(again…)

Could be but I’m not sure it effects any img scores
