Oxford Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 5 minutes ago, Rupert Prince said: I agree ... it's is cheeseparing from some commentators to criticise Salford. There is no parallel or TWP in my opinion. I think the league have been harsh. But rule are rules man and where would we be without them ....

Rupert Prince Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just now, Oxford said: But rule are rules man and where would we be without them .... France! And the whole 15k could have been suspended instead of just half. There are rules and consequences and the sanction against Salford is harsh. It's a question of applying the rule and the circumstances. A bit like the disciplinary only giving Makinson 5 games and not 8, just because he is a poster boy and is good to his mum. He broke the rule but got away with it compared to the same offence that others did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimmestStar Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Tough on Salford but this was nothing to do with COVID and you can't pull out of fixtures because of injuries. It was a precedent that the RFL just couldn't allow. The fine amounts to a slap on the wrists and that's about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunedan Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hull KR *did not* unilaterally end their season. They had a COVID-19 outbreak and the quarantine period took them past the end of the season. It's remarkable how often this particular lie is trotted out.

I am out of this one. Some comments are pathetic and one eyed. So you had your say and you're out of here, fair enough. We all know the rule is there but it's not a good when except when things are normal. It is not there to put players at risk and although they have shipped the work involved onto RLcares. "The RFL continues to drive and set the Welfare Policy." that either means looking after players or it doesn't. If this is not the case they need to stop wasting money on RLcares. https://www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/welfare/player_welfare_policy_and_standards 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a view on the fine Tony? I've honestly never seen the Salford fans as angry even though they sort of expect this kind of thing from the RFL to be some kind of bianual event! I believe that Ian Blease and Paul King are quite sanguine about the fine. If that is so, then I'm not going to rise to the bait of those on here who love to pile in on an anti-Salford story. AFAIK, the main losers are the Council and Peel Holdings, who still own the stadium and need a tenant whatever, Marwan Koucash, who has gone on record as saying he doesn't want his money back, John Wilkinson, for whom I do feel some sympathy, and, finally, a number of small creditors for whom I do feel sorry, but can do nothing about. But, hey! Check out the headline! Nasty Salford! That's all some people care about. If it makes them feel good, let them fill their boots. Sorry, I almost forgot. The fine could have been worse and could have been a whole lot better, so I don't really have a view on it. Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.

That people shouldn’t comment about them leaving people in the lurch financially? What was the figure they didn’t pay back again? I’ve never slagged off Salford in all my time on here, it’s not some sort of persecution to raise awkward issues. As for the people they didn’t pay the money back to...hey! Right? Who gives a damn. To put the tin lid on it, this was a few days after they had a say in whether another club were fit for purpose. You honestly couldn’t make it up. Oh, but you do.
