Agree with quite a bit of that. I have sympathy for the Salford fans, players and staff but not those in charge at Salford. They are the ones that have largely led Salford to this position and in some cases are actively making a choice to do things in a certain way such as the team selection last week. Yes, the RFL are also to blame (I think the sustainability cap in particular is stupid when they are still paying the players regardless) but Salford seemingly chose to make some kind of point here which has largely backfired. Throughout all this, the Salford board seem to have just ploughed ahead in doing what they want rather than what was potentially necessary.

To be honest, that squad selection did surprise me though. I was half expecting them to name a squad that ignored the sustainability cap altogether.
