I do find it an incredible coincidence that apparently they were rushing about last minute with short terms loans to throw a team together (I even heard they were denied a postponement as well) and now they have a Covid case that rules out 7 of there senior squad, genuine question, as the clubs do there own testing, do SL ask for evidence of the testing results?

Have to agree
If it looks like a fish, flaps like a fish and smells like a fish, there is probably something fishy going on and to say the least, this seems very convenient for them, especially when it's a fixture against one of their supposed "relegation rivals" .

Hard not to be suspicious, particularly as six of the required suspensions are "close contact" rather than Covid. I'd love to see if there is actual evidence of this or whether they just pointed at enough to get over the line.

My understanding that you need 7 Covid issues. Weird that it turns out to be 7 and not, say, 9 or 10..

Think its a fix myself only one player apparently as it and a further 6 have to isolate yes of course they do not to mentionthe injuries and suspensions actually hope salford get relagated now

This needs to be looked into and the isolating players need to be from the squad they named not the banned and injured list not named. Even it was one player that was named that wasn’t eligible to play anyway the game should be claimed. MC should be asking for the players isolating to be named but might not be able to do this due to data protection and confidentiality rules.

STINKS BIG TIME!!!!

I tend to agree but how do you prove it.

Cas must have slipped up somehow but Salford must have got the con trick right. Oh well.

Whilst it might look dodgy I don’t see how it can be ‘fudged’. The clubs do their own lateral flow tests but any positives have to be backed up with a PCR test by an independent company. The close contact comes from GPS data from the trackers players wear at training as well as during matches. It’s all traceable and provable. I’d suggest in this case we’ve just been very unlucky but we’ll just have to beat them in the rearranged game.

Are you sure that the GPS set ups worn by players can actually identify duration of proximity to every other player? That’s what the NHS app is designed to do but it’s not what players’ GPS is designed for.

That’s how it was described to me as working.
