Salford "...can sell to only four clubs – Castleford, Wakefield, Leigh and Hull, although that might change by this Wednesday following another RFL meeting,” King told League Express.
“We have been offered a minimal transfer fee, for example, for one of our leading players.
At this Wednesday’s meeting League Express understands that the clubs will agree to a two-week period in which the above four clubs will be able to bid for Salford players with a view to reaching the maximum salary cap level."
His statement seems a little contradictory - it actually looks like to 2 week window was granted a fortnight ago and that it could change this Wednesday.
So they’ve received offers from 4 clubs but are holding out it seems. From that it appears they want exemptions to invite competition from clubs that are full on cap and quota to drive up and coming.
That’s hardly what was supposed to happen. It’s nice they’re in a position to just not bother accepting offers it seems.
I hope majority of clubs like previous vote refuse to grant cap and quota exemptions.
Why should clubs spent on cap and quota be afforded the opportunity.
I could understand if there was no offers but that doesn’t seem the case.
