Exactly this, have sympathy for the staff & fans affected by this but how much longer are the RFL going to keep putting off making a decision, sticking to it, taking action and governing.

Just sounds like more time being bought and rearranging of deckchairs in hope more than anything. There comes a point in time where nettle needs to be grasped and it is going away with the season fast approaching.

Sadly another example of the amateur way the sport is run.

There does come a point but if there’s hope of a solution, the RFL, the creditors and other stakeholders will hold out while it lasts. If it all falls over in a week that’s not much worse than bringing it to a head now.

It is a difficult situation because you are right that whilst there is hope of a solution, all parties will want to give time for it to be resolved. And rightly so because we don't want to lose any club from the game. But the biggest question at the moment for me is not so much about when someone like the RFL will act but IF they will act at all.

Warrington with some interest in Sneyd I hear. His lad is on Man Utd's scholarship or youth teams, so no way he comes back East

apparently pulled out of the deal before their pre season summer camp, they wanted him before they flew out.

I really hope it works out for them, as they may have been some bridges burnt. No guarantees that clubs will sign players and pay a fee, when they could get them for free if there is no investment.

Someone had a good point on Twitter, of they are quota exemption brought in for Salford players there should be an exemption brought in for other signings. There are only 7 overseas players, so only a max of 7 clubs can benefit. To be fair, they should allow every club to sign an extra quota player.

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Wed Jan 22, 2025 1:22 pm  

Yeah, that is a fair and valid point

Not really, this is about saving people's incomes, not bolstering squads above and beyond that previously agreed. If we were given a dispensation would we sign a salford player or look for a quota half in Oz?
