Not the space to offer the contracts the players will want , very minimal cap left in most clubs

I get you think hull kr are the only ones who have put bids in, but Wigan saints and co will have all had a hand in pockets

Saints needed a nene McDonald etc

All articles said ‘and various other clubs’


But either way doesnt matter the rfl will let their players walk on a free next week as they ain’t making up 700k

See what happens if/when it come to it then

We may have voted yes otherwise I'd be surprised if we could fit cross and sneyd under the cap, however at least 7 clubs voted no which is all that matters

I can't imagine Cross will cost much and wouldn't Sneyd be our fed trained marquee?

“at this stage no changes have been made to salary cap regulations, but further proposals may be considered."

if i was to have a bet, i dont think for one second this will pull salford out the 700k hole if they dont give dispensations to the clubs the players will just walk to save themselves

i think the RFL will override the 'vote' and put the dispensations in to save a club with it being 3 weeks till the seasons starts

You hope, not think

if youre referring to nene we have 3 great centres all capable....he would be brilliant but not needed whatsoever

i think the genuine conversation that needs to be addressed now is we are about to have an 11 team league, which will put a lot of strain on clubs

Override the vote allow the dispensations and save Salford (for now) and ruin the integrity of the competition. Rock and hard place.

If's that's the case why do Rovers want to sign him. Purely to help save Salford of course.

we wanted him purely because on his day hes a top centre, nobody implied for a second that we want to save a club, but the RFL will have worries more than most as it will burn another bridge with sky etc


like you say rock and a hard place

salford players will be ringing their agents taking any offer they can, its all gonna end worse for everyone if the RFL dont make some drastic choices

Sad to say that even with a fire sale I cannot see how it will save Salford. At best a stay of execution. Unless they find a backer asap I cannot see them continuing which will be terrible for the game.
