I wasn't suggesting the RFL should support or bail Salford out , but i find it strange that London were allowed to come up for one season only ,an expansionist club, then we suddenly hear again about the recurring financial woes of Salford who have been flogging a dead horse ever since the new stadium was built. I don't think the move has done them any favours at all.

I get why Rowley has done it, regardless of the reason he gave, he picked that squad as a middle finger to the RFL. But he easily could have picked a competitive squad for saints and he should have done so. The restriction should have been lifted once the take over was completed, I hope they do lift it so we can all just get on with Rugby League as normal.

This has been a poop show for the fans and the Salford players, hopefully the new owners can turn them in to a competitive team year in year out without the circus that surrounds them.

I wonder if the investigation into last weeks team selection will be forgotten about now.

Never mind the team selection issues .... Is anybody going to Salford on Saturday afternoon just to watch The Happy Mondays do their pre match and half time set ?? ... Or will it just be me in a primrose and blue bucket hat ??

I know of a few Wire fans that often go up to Salford games.
