Have to say credit to the young Salford lads who re standing up to St’s as best they can.
But and a big but it really is an embarrassment on national TV caused by Salfords hissy fit.
I've spent the last hour just reading everything there is to read about Salford they say they've been taken over but not a cent of the money they owe the RL or their Sky money advance has been paid to the RFL and so they were told they had to play up to the 1.2m cap limit they were set. They thought they could chop and change players every week under that but it was stipulated that they had to name the players they were to use this season to meet that requirement and stick to it until the terms of their 'take over' were complete and ratified by the RFL when they would return to the full cap allocation.
They tried to change the players from last weeks cap allocated players and when they couldn't the toys came out of the pram big style. Some Media in Australia doubting if the take over will go through although British press pretty confident it will. They need sanctioning though in my opinion and perhaps some points docked because tonight was a massive turn off for all the prospective new fans who were no doubt turning off their TV's in droves. I bet the BBC were not best pleased. Their kids tried but really!!! For me it's pretty despicable behaviour.
